EDIT: I just went through and counted and it looks like about 50-55 guys will be forced to retire and won't be retrained on anything if the DC8 is parked in September since they are either >65 or they are already 64.
Does it seem like the plan is to park all the DC8s in 2009?
No, they won't force them to retire. They will probably just keep one DC8 as a "spare" and be "fat" on FE's. I mean, the company has just made it so easy for these guys (the guys that hate them the most) to stick around and get back into the left/right seat, so why stop now?
