Tell facts, but include all the facts.
Do you think hiring will stop?
It very well could for any number of reasons. For a decade ? Definitely not likely, but for months or even a couple of years ? Distinctly possible.

What's 1/2 of 3950?
How many of the 1800ish pilots at Envoy will flow?
Your figures don't match mine. From now until end of 2020 (4 years, 9 months), I came up with about 2850 age 65 retirements from the combined list. My US Airways numbers may be in question though. Could you verify your figures and source ?

When they're on the jumpseat We hear nothing except how they wish they had it as the backup too
I'm sure most DO wish they had that deal, but I think many believe jumping ship to the back of that line isn't a good risk. If they did you'd see more defections from other regionals. Probably similar why most Envoy F/O's won't jump ship laterally to chase a faster upgrade.
