You mean in 17 years? There are 34,000 age 65 retirements between now and 2031. These are staggering numbers. Last year had a mere 805 and the wheels are already falling off. This show is just getting started.
High discouragement from the industry+ATP rule+droves of retirements.
I don't see regional airlines around in 5 years, certainly not 10 years.
