As a follow up to my last thread: http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/re...rspective.html

I crunched the numbers on the percentage of the regional airline pilots that would be required to cover the mandatory retirements in the next 5 years. In case you missed it: 30% of the current regional airline pilots would be required to cover the next 5 years of retirements.

Now, I want to try and figure out how how many current regional airline captains plan on staying and how many plan on moving on? The term "regional lifers" seems to have a bit of a negative connotation, however, for a lot of guys, staying put will lead to a better quality of life.

I simply want to get an idea as to the percentage of guys who are trying to get out vs staying put?
