And all those guys saying you’d still retire #3,000. Keep in mind, it’s not a quick approach of retirements at the end there. Once he’s above 55, it’ll be an absolute crawl of retirements of those above him. He’ll retire 3,000 but it will literally take that last year before retirement to be ~ 3,300 and then 3000 as he is forced to punch out.
Its not a clean linear climb where he can then enjoy being top 20% for the last 10 years.
That's not how averages work. You are equating "average" and "median."
If 10 pilots were 38 and one pilot 27 the average age would be 37 even though most of the pilots were older than 37.
