My guess is that will increase. In fact the company hired in 2015 with an estimate of 150 attrition.
Assuming the plane count increases as specified above, and assume a modest 100 attrition per year, I'd say 5 years is realistic.
Time on reserve though? I'll let someone else discuss that but my wild guess would be a minimum of another 5 years.
Last I heard 16 quit, died, moved on, or were fired in January...
Just about everyone I fly with says they know someone that's going to DAL... Few weeks ago a guy knew 5 people that were going to DAL alone...
Idk. I think your estimate is fine on 7 years.... If no one leaves, and growth slows down... I think a 3-5 year estimate is pretty accurate.
What do I know though.
Also required retirements and actual retirements are very different.. Just because 150 retire by 2023 doesn't mean that 300 won't retire...
