Lets all hope that it comes to pass but I would not bet the farm on it. Besides if it does then you will have thousands of guys like me to contend with who will jump back into the market ahead of you.

I am not saying that mass retirements will not happen. My point is that you can not accurately predict the results if it does. A better plan is to hope for the best but plan for the worst.

Nothing like this has ever happened before in the last 30 years. This truly is a unique situation, so whether or not it sells pilots licenses...this attrition will happen.

Betting the farm on whether or not it this happen is just retarded. That kind of mentality is what got this country in this mess in the first place. The lack of fiscal discipline is to blame for all of our current blunders and..............wait......thats another discussion, forget it.

I am not encouraging anyone to plan their life around this, just simply giving opinions on factual information.
