Fact or Fiction?
Tsquare: " I know the 777 has a higher percentage of mandatory retirements coming in the nest few years"
........ ... .... need double if statement... . ... ... ...
TRUE.
If you're dumb enough to trust ESSHM, the 777A is going to lose 26% of its pilots (72 total) in the next 3 years. The 744A comes in at 21% (46).
Now the next highest percentage of loss comes from the 765A losing 23% or 41 pilots in the next 3 years, the 330A only loses 12% or 36 pilots.
NB? The 717A will lose a higher % of As to retirement then the M88A (3% vs 2%), although there are nearly 1000 M88As vs 185 717As.
The 7ERA will lose 109 As but that is only 7% of that category.
I think the whole DTW744A -> ATL744A is nothing more than an effort to irritate FNWA. The thought is that because of the fence that DTW744A is junior-ish. Thus if you closed it and reopened it in ATL at the end of the year then senior guys would bid it and flush out all of the FNWA from 744A.
The only thing is training capacity couldn't handle a complete flush, you'd be taking As (there's only a dozen-ish Bs senior to the 744A plug) and moving them to the 744 which probably wouldn't happen in mass and why bother?
