The extra 5 years of work more than make up for that, esp. when you take into consideration the note sale. Age 65, the scope sale, PERPs, all of this, was paid for by the lower 2/3 of the list in furloughs and career expectations. You are correct that those coming on now will not feel the loss, assuming they aren't derailed by other threats to our jobs...
