Wow! That's the best positive spin on getting fired that I've ever heard.

When I was a kid the "stewardesses" were all young and attractive. "Flight Attendants" would get married etc. and would quit. In fact, I think the airlines had a maximum age for stewardesses.

Sounds like the airlines are trying to keep the younger(cheaper also) flight attendants and push the others out the door.

12.5k is very little especially now with the soaring price of the fuel and commodities. To lose a job now is not very wise when US unemployment rate is increasing.

It doesn't seem like much, but waiting until the airline goes under and then getting nothing doesn't sound like a better choice. Those might be the only realistic alternatives. More would be better, but that probably won't happen.
