I think they will be a lot smaller than they are now. Between American, Alaska, Delta, United, Southwest, jetBlue, FedEx, and UPS, 37,250 pilots will retire between 2015-2029. They will also receive a lot of new aircraft between today and 2029, which means that between those airlines, they will be hiring nearly 40,000 pilots between 2015 and 2029. It's going to be interesting to see how the regionals react to this.
