We are looking at very slow movement and stagnation for the next decade.

You’re a better man than I. I don’t have enough self confidence to predict 10 days out at UPS or this industry much less than 10 years. Good on ya…

Nobody hired 2014+ has a clue what real stagnation looks like.

With forecast retirements, I don’t think we will for quite a long time. Slower? Sure. Stagnant? Not betting on it.

If my math is correct and the average retirement age stays around 62.5yr then we should have 20% of the list retired in the next 5 years

Ignorant statement. Most non mil folks hired after 2014 know exactly what stagnation looks like. Most of us have been through it many times. 9-11, SARS, 2008 this is nothing new. May be a different uniform but same old same old.
