I play around with MS Excel like some play crossword puzzles. After being converted to the Excel format, the crew lists can be sorted numerous ways and some interesting information can result. (PS- I called them "departed crewmembers" but almost all of them were in fact retirements.)

The union gives virtually no publicity to those who retire, and I think a lot of us would like to see that information. When we were having new hires, the union would put a picture of each one in the paper. After 20 years with the IPA, however, they don't even bother to publish the names of those who retire, much less a picture and some comments.
