If you want to pretend everyone over 60 still flying is doing it to make ends meet then so be it. The rest of us have flown with enough of them to see pictures of their boats and vacation houses.

I've not seen any over age 60 guys dropping dead, or going out on a medical, in the past 5 years. I'm sure there are a few, but not too many. Seems they all quit smoking years ago and are taking better care of themselves.
If they are 'holding out to 65', it's only because if their company went bankrupt, they have very little money to retire on.

If you fly till you die, you don't need a retirement

I've flown with too many oldsters who made really bad choices in their life. "Yeah I put $350,000 into a Yoga franchise and lost it all. That's why I'm flying 85 a month and they'll have to drag me kicking and screaming from this cockpit."
Way to go, dude.

Everyone, sing along!

Point: Not everyone is going until 65. Period.
In addition - retirements aren't the only reason people leave the seniority list. Natural attrition in non-early out months is approximately 6 a month at Delta.

And if the company continues to offer early out incentive programs on an annual basis? What do you consider a wide margin of error? 2 years and 5 months sounds like a standard deviation or so. And it's also the maximum upper limit.

Your point is correct- there's no arguing that and I hope I didn't give you the impression that I was asserting that. However, we don't have a valid statistical base on who actually are making it to 65 due to the early outs.
Make sense?

If they continue to do offer annual early outs (as i hope they do), then you would be correct.
