Can we make it 55? I want muh widebody A spot! Now! (Then we can make it 67 or 70).

Thats all this discussion is… a land grab. Anyone is free to “retire” whenever they want (contractual requirements met), up to the federally mandated age.

To the OP, if you’re making life decisions based on micro examination of retirement and upgrade predictions, you’re gonna have a disappointing career.

Lots and lots of 11 year FOs waiting for percentage triggers before they upgrade.
