Zonda,
Well, that's cuz you ARE at an AARP convention !!! It should make you absolutely leap for joy !! :-)))
In those same years, DL, for example, has three times(+) as many scheduled age-outs. The airlines are of different sizes but empty seats are empty seats...assuming they intend to refill them.
An interesting twist is reflected in the actual retirements at DL in 2015: total 335 left...153@age 65...182 less than 65. The long term issue remains the same but that just moves things a little more into the present.
