They are full of crap. Believe it when you see the actual retirement FCIF and that they are off the schedule. Otherwise, there have been two guys I saw retire this year at 56 and 59, some that are supposedly retiring a little before 65, on Dec 31st to get the bonus, but most of them are retiring at 65 years, 0 months.
Only believe it when you see it. If they're going out early, it's usually medical.
