15 years from 2014-2028 AA retires 6,946 pilots. In that same 15 years US Airways retires 3,508. Total retired at both in 15 years is 10,454. Currently there are 14,800 pilots at both airlines.
10454 / 14800 x100 = 70.6% gone. So you'd be at the 30% mark, not 12%. Still a great position to be in though!
