Just flew with another pilot (mil retired w/26 yr pension, about 10 yrs at FEDEX, about 57-58 yrs old) who's just staying on until 60 because he doesn't want to take a penalty for going early.
Guys like that are going to pull the handles when they see what's going to happen to "normal" retirement at age 60. Wait for the company's opener next year....

As for me and mine - SWA's retirement is my retirement. Our pension will go the way of everyone else's. The free market is unstoppable over time.
