Interesting and Predictable

Thought you might be interested in a little research I just finished.  I was wondering just how many UAL pilots would continue flying past 60 when the rule changed.  Using the 2007 pilots seniority list, I found that there are112 pilot's between seniority #6 and #4766 whos 60th birthday fell between
12-13-07 and 6-30-08.  I made a list of all these pilots.  A few days ago the new 2008 pilot's seniority list came out and I again checked to see if each of these pilots was on the new list.  Of these 112, all but five pilots continue to fly.  That's 95.5%!!  I don't know about the five who retired but some of those may be medical.
 
My only observation--Guess there were 107 pilots who decided not to take the PBGC up on their offer of $2200/ Mo.  The most junior pilot moved up about 140 numbers.  These were the pilots turning 60 between july, 2007 and 12-12-07 who were not so fortunate to make the cut.

With gas, food and everything else skyrocketing, while the PBGC continues to offer the same $2,200---can there be any other choice?
