2014 ---> 229
2015 and beyond ---> ATL firetrucks will pull double time for daily duties of water-cannon salutes
All in all, not much movement due solely to the age 65 rule for several years. I suppose one of the "X factors" already discussed is what DAL-N guys will do when they turn 60. For my money, I think they'll stick around if healthy. They didn't work that hard keeping healthy and retaining their medicals just to jump when the schedules, equipment, and pay just keep getting better and better.

FWIW, after the droughts here in ATL the last few years they no longer do the fire truck cannon salutes. You just get to pull in to your gate and get your badge taken from you and then you get escorted to your car
You still can get the retirement photo op though.
