You got that right. If someone hired today is say 50 or younger they will look forward to that, unless something catastrophic happens. Simply amazing.
Yes, Delta and United have major retirements as well, but the percentage at American is higher.
For those who lived through 9/11, furloughs, bankruptcies, and everything else, as well as those who have been sitting at the regionals for 25 years, it simply takes their breath away.
I am not being a rah rah. The demographics are something one cannot deny. Even if bad stuff happens, the demographics are going to be like a steamroller.
