Neither is it true that half of the *current* pilot workforce will retire in the next 7.5 years. 2.5 years of retirements have already occurred and been replaced (plus some) in the *current* workforce, and there's only 7.5 years worth or retirements remaining. Really we don't know exactly what is true without completely redoing the analysis, but I'd bet that for the *current* pilot workforce "half retiring in the next decade" is more nearly accurate than "Half will retire in the next 7.5 years.
