a) they have waited 20 yrs for the ability to fly the 744, and many are getting it just prior to 60 and want to fly it for a few years.
b) more significantly the break even on working for "free" vs. retiring got seriously biased towards 65 with the DAL cost of retiree medical prior to medicare/SS eligibilty.
The "screw the RB guys" is just good BS talk for why they are really hanging around. As to ATL 744 I'm guessing they are staying in DTW because RA has stated that it will be the primary Asia gateway.

Actually I think the costs would go down with an integrated training system and the training would be more effective and efficient. The overall numbers of instructors would go down.
