As to stats: just one guy’s anecdotal observation. Over the last three and a half years, about 1500 guys have retired. During that time, my “projected retirement seniority” has gone up by only an additional 35 numbers or so.
That looks like 98% of guys make it, to this spectator.
Yeah, that 50% can't be right....It would be interesting to know..
This is all thumbnail math but the calculation I was thinking of would be from hire date to retirement. Also, if a pilot is on LTD they do not come off the seniority list until retirement so I am pretty sure the projection calculator wouldn't be affected. The 35 that disappeared may have had other reasons to be removed. Hopefully, hitting the lotto, windfall in the stock market or something good like that....
