Like I said earlier, if the union was able to leave the pension and retirement benefits fixed to age 60, that may help.

Yes, I think you will see stagantion in the right seat, it will vary from company to company. It will probably be worse at companies who have shed their pensions in the BK.

I agree about the stagnation concept especially with those airlines that have no retirement benefits. If retirement benefits are frozen at age 60 with no further contribution, that would probably give current pilots the incentive to retire.
