Though I'm in a position to benefit from a retirement age for 91k/135, I have to disagree. Whether it was perceived or real, demand was the reason the fractionals were hiring. If the old guys were forced out, more young guys would have been hired. NJA, Shares, Flex, Options would all have the same number of guys on the street right now. Now, if retirement became mandatory effective January 1, 2010, it would be another story. But it's not going to and it's really not an argument worth starting again.
