No one has answered his questioned and said yes I am retiring early..That was my point in an earlier post. Very few people are going early.

Have you contacted ALPA? I'm guessing they have the data across all ALPA carriers. If you're doing research for school I would think you'd want actual data and not random anecdotes from a forum.

I know pilots closing in on 65 hoping the retirement age gets raised before they get there.

For most voluntarily leaving early doesn't make any sense. Unless you've hit that magical # (which for most people is always more, more more) or your health prohibits you from working, why would you leave? You have your best seniority with highest earning potential. Even if you don't want to work, you're likely senior enough to camp out in a category where "work" means going to the sim once a quarter and not drinking beer 6 days a month. I'm far more likely to throttle back than call it quits when I hit my early 60s.

I agree with you, but not everyone that is in their 60's is senior. If your a mid pack seniority number(perhaps a military guy that did a full career and got on at 40-50 yrs old) its not as nice as a civvy that was hired in the early to mid 20's. Those guys have it golden.
