If they stick to the 2018 projection, added to 2017's count, it BARELY covers mandatory retirements for those 2 years. Let alone early outs, guys that may have left, etc.

Those monkies will soon carry people, and that's gross.

AA mandatory of 57%, instead of 10 years would be 12 years. And so on.
Black swan events can happen. But aging out marches on. Unlike in 2001, the retirements are like a steamroller. Anything getting in its way most likely would be a bump in the road, not a big 'lost decade' canyon.
Of course, the world could end tomorrow. But don't hold your breath. YMMV

Maybe they also know age 67 is coming?
