Ok, my bad.........I'll take your word for it on those numbers. I'm not sure if you have read further into airline economics but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. The airlines may hire a bit in the future however, there are just way too many seats in the sky to make any money. So I see quite a bit of downsizing before the numbers tell the real truth. Just because an airline has 300 people set to retire that year doesn't mean they are going to hire another 300 to fill the vacancies.
Sure, maybe every pilot will be sucked up from the street one day. They maybe hiring guys in diapers again. But do you think they are going to pay anybody a livable wage? The reason for the last hiring boom was because the airlines figured out how to take advantage of their cheap help. Sell tickets below a normal cost to pay the bills; the pilots will always fly for close to nothing. Just being a pilot is nothing unless you can pay your bills. Just YOU wait and see.
