So yes, I know everything can change; however, if I'm truly trying to build the full picture PRIOR to being on property this information is useful.
Be sure to ask this question among all the others: which company's upgrade projection would be most greatly impacted by a change in the mandatory retirement age? The answer is not SWA...
