When we get to years with 800 hitting 65, that'd be 1360 off the top if 1.7 is accurate, or 10% of the seniority list annually. That, there, is some serious negotiating capital if we choose to use it next time around...
The number you post sounds accurate. You do however have to drop the guys who leave early out of the future years numbers. If we have 200 leave early this year it reduces the mandatory numbers for later years by the same amount.
