I was just looking at the early out numbers, looks like Saililng Fun was correct about the ages of who went, about 77 (combined) of the 191 were ages 58, 59 and 60. There were about 30 who were age 64, so they were going pretty soon anyway, but over the next 3 years we'll see a lot more go, in addition to the 191, because so many who took this were younger than 62.
Now, back to the backfilling thing. As long as the company keeps shrinking our international block hours, I don't see them replacing all the 747, A330 and 767 ER pilots...we can only watch and hope.
