I asked the woman who runs our ALPA office if they can update the list to better show the picture of the current seniority list but she said she was told the company refused to continue to provide this data due to privacy reasons... so it's hard to tell exactly how it looks now.
My personal observation is that this is a relatively young airline compared to many... there are A LOT of 40ish year old captains with more than 10 years on the property and quite a few of the new hires from the past 3 years were int their 20's and early 30's..
That's just the reality from what I've seen.
Thanks a bunch to you as well for the info and I appreciate you sharing your personal observations.
I wonder why the company considers the information to be a breach of privacy? I would think they could just release the mandatory retirment numbers without listing names so nobody's privacy is violated that way. Anyhow, thanks for trying!
