I'm told so far 60 1 year advanced notice guys have pulled their letters. If we get the early out plan I've heard about I can at least guarantee 1 taker.

Let's skip all the posts about ex-wives, boats, second family, no life, blah, blah, blah. It would make for a very unoriginal response.

Because pilots are cheap. If the pay rates are solid, I could totally see guys choosing to hang on a few extra years, particularly the ones with all the issues you listed above. An exodus may occur, but a mass exodus seems unlikely unless the retirement incentive is significant.
