  1. It is a shame that airlines and even other employers have no way in which to track the age of their employees and potentially predict the utterly unpredictable, completely random age in which employees may retire. Maybe we should ask governments to suggest a retirement age, which could make predicting such things possible. Oh wait, that would require management to jump off of the just in time bandwagon and anticipate predictable things, prepare in advance for them and retain a certain level of excess personnel to act as a buffer should there be a sudden loss and that is definitely not lean six sigma! Decades of promoting just in time ordering and lean philosophy has gone as we predicted, disruptions in supply chains and traffic flow have disrupted everything up and downstream and retirements are adding to the hot mess. Again, as predicted when we took that training that is only ever effective in an undisturbed steady state environment. But, people that were in the field for 20 - 30+ years didn't know what they were talking about and needed to have a positive attitude. I was quite positive it'd blow up in their faces. So, we're short flight crews, infant formula due to one plant going offline out of a dozen and a tampon shortage, that due to hand wave cotton and plastic shortages... And the ones that need to be shown the door for such business harming shortsightedness will retain their platinum parachutes, while everyone else gets lead parachutes. </0.01% spleen venting completed, detonation averted>
