You left out pertinent information that heavily influenced their decision to retire early. At best, disingenuous.
Providing solid numbers of people retiring before the mandatory retirement age is not disingenuous. Just because it isn't happening at UAL doesn't make it disingenuous. Your misfortunate career at United does not change the definition of an early retirement. Neither does incentive packages. Early retirement is early retirement. Period.
I don't know why you insist on bringing the reason why they retire early into the conversation. The point of conversation was never why they retired early. It was simply that they were retiring early.
