I'll bet you the Starbucks beverage of your choice that the vast majority of those will change their bid to first available now and for the foreseeable future. That extra 1000 guys is pretty substantial when you consider how few retirements we have every year. Adds at least 3 or 4 years (no growth)

I hope I'm wrong, I'd love to upgrade before I turn 50 and have a solid 15 years to pad my retirement, but unless something dramatic happens I just am not seeing the numbers to support that.

My own fault. I got here later in life than many of you.
