Remember, they are going to get rid of the Jumbo, no option to stay on it for a planned year or two longer so if timing means doing a course and then retiring then that is what some will do.
The only effect on junior pilots is that of waiting for a slot based on seniority, ops normal.
On the other hand if VR caused anyone to leave early then junior pilots would benefit!
where did I say no one can choose when they retire? I was simply noting that anyone who starts 737 training around age 65 with no intention of finishing it is marking life harder on their colleagues, because it than takes many months to train their replacement and in the meantime everyone else has to fly harder.
