Latest and greatest from BK says 450 for 2018. Look at how mnay retire in 2018.
But.......but......we'll be hiring 100 a month indefinitely!!!
Personal experience, but when I took my furlough, it was HALF the pilot group. 20% wouldn't have been enough.....
Unbridled refers to just over a year ago we had UAL pilots right here on this forum posting they were personally told by mgmt during captain upgrade that the Ual seniority list would be 18,000 strong by 2020, even after retirements. That would have been unbridled hiring had it even come close to fruition.
