It's all about control....forecasting...and minimizing the size of the pilot group (cost center)

I'm not sure it's as critical as many believe though

Most guys are retiring at 64 yrs and 9 months --- and that's just because of the Dec spike in Vac Buy Back --- without that accounting rule many would stay until the very last day

Perhaps, that's what they will change to incentivize them ---- without hurting those who wish to retire before 65
