Its a good idea and probably should be offered. The catch is it would have to be carefully costed out. Any pilot who leaves early and subsequently would be needed prior to his scheduled retirement is very costly. You might need to attach a age limit like 62. I understand the company was not thrilled with the demographics of who took the first program. It was however very nice from a pilot standpoint.
