If your fleet size has stabilized you guys should see significant hiring numbers for at least a decade...
Wouldn't ya think? But so many guys are staying as long as possible, holding on to the very last second. I swear some people have got to be over 65 and lying about their birthdays. They just seem to never leave.
Not that I really begrudge people for staying as long as they like. But I do begrudge people for flying double lines, bidding carryover, working constantly and taking the best trips until the day they turn 65. I swear I will not do that, and I'll leave before 60.
