United could take every pilot in the Airforce by its self in the next 10 years on retirements alone.
Yes, and obviously the AF doesn't want this to happen, hence why they are working with the airlines on 1500 Rule amendments like ACE and support H1B1 visa programs for the Regionals. If ACE passes Congress and Senate, things could go back to looking bleak at Regional levels.
