This won't be the last, IMO. With the new collective bargaining agreement that gives a much larger financial incentive for veterans to retire, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this won't be the last this year. Just a guess...no inside information on this.

I guess I get a little excited because my former colleagues and classmates are now near the top of the list for promotion. It'll be cool to see what happens.

I heard there were a few guys considering retiring this year. Apparently, yesterday (February 18) was the last day for them to decide whether to take retirement under the new agreement.
