327 Pilots are listed to retire in 2018, based on
United Seniority Progression
Throw in 20-30 deaths/Medicals and maybe another 30-50 early retirements and '400' easily covers that.
Keep in mind, we also will have returning furloughs/mil leaves.
2 months ago the 'rumor' of an impending announcement of 30-40 used Airbus.. and hiring of 1200+ next year.
Then the rumor of new 76-3's
Fast forward to Dec of 2017.. nothing to see here, move along.
Reality is, as long as we are hiring to keep up with retirements, guess we should be happy.
We're not Delta.. we're United. At least we're not American.
