Talk is cheap. Lots of guys say they will go early, but when it really comes down to pulling the handles.. naaaah.... we don't need to spend anything on this. Actually.. and this is not my original thought.. but if the company were smart, they would offer a program whereby they would pay the medical if guys sign on. the caveat being that the company tells you when you are out the door. There would be a window like you said, but your last flight could be in any month therein. That way, they could dampen out the training for the upcoming retirements. But.. that is the company's problem. Frankly, I don't know how they are gonna keep these big... small categories operating when the retirements start happening.
