I would propose what is on other properties already, with a sliding scale. A sliding scale, from 18 month notification of retirement to 6 month notification, you get 50% of your DSA sliding to 25%, WITHOUT encouraging the banking of RSA, and without discouraging the use of VAC.
This TA will encourage more people approaching retirement, to fly sick, that is clear.

What I would propose goes counter to what The Company would propose. The Nogotiating Committee has not been shy in admitting the SLB is designed to keep pilots flying. I want to ease their transition to retirement.
What I propose is simple. Raise the FAE cap to twice the IRS Benefit limit, and index it to that from here out. Instead of a 1-time lump sum that they have to break their backs for, they enjoy a lifetime of retirement benefits, benefits they have already broken their backs for.

As a group we are suffering a bit of cognitive dissonance on the subject of sick bank and retirement. Recall that for years prior to the TA a common crew lounge discussion citing the unfairness that your sick bank disappeared at retirement. Many of our group went on to pontificate that we should be compensated some portion of that bank at retirement... That was an argument I heard many of us make during the years prior to the TA, now just the reverse...
