Simply put, that's the difference between age 60 retirements and age 65 retirements.
"Normal" retirement numbers will not return until late 2013.
Then throw in a slumping economy and retirement of 3 fleet types since we got here ...

Question for anyone ... what's the deal with no bypass of anyone on this bid ? I did read that right didn't I ?
Just flexing their rights to force someone to only bid what they would be willing to fly ?
Just curious ... it will have no affect on my position in ANC, I think.
