[Yes, I know this isn’t what everyone would want for themselves, and lucky for those folks it’s also not our current reality].
Well, going back to 60 ain’t an option, so not sure why that came to your mind…? Or did I miss something?
And my point was (in part), the older in absolute age pilots get, the slope steepens of those who retire or lose their medical. Said another way, there will be more “early” SL departures in 2 years going to 67 than there were in 5 years going to 65. And, that lower impact will be felt in good hiring environment, vs the double whammy of the late 2000’s
