Hi...just here to clink a glass since we are in 3 digit land.
For those of you who haven't seen a retirement in a while, at my company we have had a quite a few lately. Because of the retroactive provisions in the bill, we had many over 60 guys train back into the front seat.
Several of them have now aged out (again) of the system. The slow economy and a striving for more efficiency in schedules has mitigated some of the impact, but at the same time it is nice to see movement...albeit slow...on the seniority lists again.
Fly safe. Normally--getting older has very few upsides. The consolation prize now is with each day you are getting older, you are closer to moving up the list.
None of this applies, however, if you get yourself fired or mort yourself out prior. So--be smart, be nice, and be careful. Back to your calendars...
