I'm not surprised at all - the former NWA guys kept saying before the SLI "oh, all these guys are going to retire prior to 65 - you'll see. That's why we need credit for their retirements."

Hogwash - when a guy at the top of the seniority list looks what how much they work vs how much they bring in vs the mortgage, boat payments and things a 12-year widebody Captain can get with his paycheck - why would they leave?
