I'm sure we would all love some hard numbers, but even a guess at how many are in now at all the branches and a historical percentage of those who leave would be a good start.
We know how many retirements are happening over the next 8-10 years, we know how many regional pilots there are.... (The retirements roughly equal the amount of regional pilots who want to move on).... So what affect will the military population have on civs getting hired?
Thanks everyone.
The only way to even get close would be to take every separation eligible pilot, or even within 2 years.... And ask them what their plans are. No one in their right mind will ever show their cards until they've pulled the trigger, this this is a pointless question and at best any answer is speculation.
