300 life Captains reducing yearly? Not by much. less than 100 of those 300 lifers leave in the next 5 years(I am one of those). Over 100 of them have 10 years or more to go.
How many have flowed so far this year?
I'd say the other guy is right: There is not much availability for a Captain slot over the next decade.
