Roughly 30 out of 450 in the 72 and 75 of 150 in the 10. We also have a few that took a leave of absence, so they don't show up in those numbers. However, we do have some fairly junior guys mixed in the over 60 group. We went through a period in the late nineties where we were hiring some guys in their mid-fifties.

Even if only 20-30 of those guys bid and the company elects to train them to a wide-body captain seat, that, combined with the delay in retirements, will effectively stop the music for several bid cycles.

Bid the seat you want now. (IMO)
