If the company can buy people out at 62.5 and make it make financial sense, then they'll continue to do so. They wouldn't be doing it if they didn't think it'd make sense.
I'm pretty sure someone in Crew Resources is smart enough to make a histogram.
The company bought people off to prevent furlough. They are not going to buy pilots off to hire replacements.
