Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

On the righthand side there is a link for October 2010 Seniority list. This will open up a PDF file that you can search for his name if he's an active pilot. Nit sure about retirees.

Half the list pretty much retires in the next 10 years! Lots of hiring is going to HAVE to happen. Rumor alert - i havent heard a 1000 for next year but i did hear 5-600 fwiw

Also understand who the audience is. Investors that want us to shrink not grow. They want to continually squeeze the customer in to higher fares. Sounds good on paper but the other carriers rarely play a long.

Heyas,
I agree that more newbies are great news, and I'd be the first to buy the beer and Popeye's at the welcome aboard meetings.
BUT I don't see any airframes to support that number, and we're another 2-3 years before the retirements kick in full force. Minus the new hires, we were probably getting pretty lean with the training churn, but 300 covers what we've lost in the last 2 years.
If we were getting the Saudia birds + 25 717s, er, maybe. If we were getting 10 747-400/330s/787s, maybe. But idling as we have been, I don't see it.
Nu
