Anyone retiring earlier than 65?
I understand that they are lot of pilots retiring over the course of the next decade. These are mandatory retirements because of the 65 year.
But are they many pilots at DAL retiring earlier than that? Maybe taking precautions due to health, or due to loss of license? Or maybe done with the flying and don't want to continue anymore and just take an early break.
I am doing some research for school and wanted to ask DAL pilots, if they know someone who had to retire early or if they can shed some light on it. I couldn't find any information other than mandatory retirements.
Thanks, appreciate the info.

Yes!!
I plan on retiring this summer while still in my mid fifties... that should be about the time I get the check for a massive inheritance coming my way. I’ve already sent out the check for the large tax bill, but I was given assurances that my inheritance is many thousands of times the worth of the taxes.
It does seem strange that I don’t remember meeting the Nigerian Prince who left me his fortune, but it’s easy to see how he felt I was such a great guy!! Take that you working slobs!! I’ll be the one in business class from here on out!!
