The total group is ~ 15,000

Less your ~ 9,100 over 13 years leaves the pilot comimg on line today at ~ 6,000

Still a long ways from the ~ 1,300 ish junior outlier Group 4 CA.

There are about 450 on the AA side now. Maybe, what, 120 on the US side?

Even if they don't park one, and take delivery of 40 more, there might be ~ 800. Seniority numbers to ~ 2,000? For the junior outlier dudes?

Today's noob is still 4,000 numbers away at 13 years.

The five year thing was a joke. Everyone claims to have been told that, except those who actually did it.
