Show me a chart/graph/data point that proves the industry is being forced into that?

Average age at (insert here) is STILL mid-late 30’s. For every guy over 50-55-60 hires there’s easily more under 30.

Due mostly to the FACT is dark decade career stagnation on the civilian side as an average as well as most mil guys have doing well above the min required AD commitment due to low/non existent hiring previous.

Exclude that and it would be same/similar to pre 9/11 of low 30’s as the average age.

Regioanl pilot life expentancy was 2-3 years and most mil guys able to split after min commitment left.
