From what I can gather listening to guys talk in the crew room, for most of the fNWA guys, it can make more sense to go early rather than wait to 65 because of the cost of health insurance. I don't really listen though. AFAIC, they will go when they go, and I'll just keep waiting for that day.
Other than trying to scare the Bejebus outta them while flying, the only other way I can think to hasten their departure is to ditch em in some Ebola infested cathouse in Africa.
