Q: Is there an “early out” provision for retirement?
There is not technically an “early out” for a Flight Attendant who wants to retire
However, there is a significant increase to sick leave cash-out on retirement. There is also the addition of the 6th week of vacation at 25 years.
If a Flight Attendant is willing to, we would encourage waiting until next year to retire. The Flight Attendant will be able to cash out 6 weeks of vacation, their sick leave balance, and receive the PBP.
