Good point. That really sucks for anyone working at FedEx, UPS, and other major cargo airlines with over 60 flight engineers. Do you think this will either:
1) Stagnate growth for a long time
2) Cause pilots to be displaced (widebody to narrowbody, or captain to FO)

If there are 250 over 60 FE's at UPS, it seems to me that would cause displacements. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether option #1 or option #2 are more likely.
