Retirement means those seats should have been vacated. Lump sums deplete the pension trust. Retired pilots holding active seats and lump sums....
No one stole any money from the other pilots. This was their money that they had earned up until that point in which it was frozen.
These pilots weren't retired they just got divorces. You don't have to quit/retire when you get divorced.
