Fearless guess: this will result in less than 10 “early” retirements for astute pilots

Reasons:

1) Only ex-CAL pilots are involved

2) The year will be half over by June 30 for 2020 retirements

3) Many pilots will consider the math but keep flying anyway

4) Many pilots have no idea what effect rates have on lump sum

5) Many pilots in reasons #3 and #4 will also retire with several hundred hours of sick time
