All-in-all, I saw the FCIF as simply stating facts (weak economy, over manned, 3-man to 2-man airplane transition, age 65, etc.).
Flight management is usually hesitant to put that sort of stuff in writing (I suspect for liability reasons?). I appreciated the straight forward professional tone of the FCIF.

Just ribbing ya'! I actually read it exactly the same way.
Our union has the opportunity to make some negotiating "hay" with this, though.
