Prior to the concession, 8% of the seniority list pilots were involved in training. Either as an instructor or a student. After the concession, it was cut in half to 4%.

4% of their pilot group about 500 pilot jobs lost.

Now, and you are good at this kind of math, calculate the number of jobs lost in 2022 when over 1000 Delta pilots retire.

IMO there is a good chance we will have over 16,000 pilots by then.

Concessions are a very bad idea and totally unnecessary. IMO
