It definitely wasn't all-inclusive, but an interesting read none the less.
I think they covered the retirements indirectly when it mentioned how mainline is shifting flying from the regionals while later mentioning the regional airlines demand for pilots in the next few years. The 600+ this year and the 2000+ at the latter part of the decade when the big three airlines will retire close to that amount per year.
