No A fund payout right now and shorter A-fund payout period when checks start. That savings in A-fund money is available for a little Sim time. But it is balanced against big vacation and sick time usage. The tie breaker is below.

It is likely some won't go to training. Too much of a hassle. Some might not make it thru training. Some old guys are hanging out hoping for passover. They will be disappointed, IMHO. The bottom line is a retirement package deal before training would not be optimal for the company accountants.

Retirements will occur, just not right now. It's a poker game and the cards are still being dealt.
