For the next 10 years (2017-2026), the combined retirements are total 675.
675/2500 = Just 27% of the pilot group retires in the next 10 years.
In comparison over the same time frame, Delta retires 6,600 the next 10 years of a total ~13,500 which is nearly 50% - half the seniority list. United retires 4500 out of 12,500 which is almost 40% over the next 10. And American does the highest, retiring ~8,100 the next 10 yrs out of 15,300 total which means 53% of their current pilots will be gone by then.
