People talk about retirements as if it was a new thing in aviation, attrition due to retirement has been going on since this career is up and running, pilots forget that this is a cyclical business and most guys are talking about this upswing as if it was unprecedented in the business, they forget that the upswing of the 90's and the upswing of the 20's were also referred too as "unprecedented" how long will this upswing last is the million dollar question but lasting for the foreseeable furture as many are predicting is naive in itself.
