He reminded me just a few years ago, when flows of the 824 pilots were starting the flows had 25 years of seniority. AA was not hiring for that lost decade.
The 2010 hires will be (hopefully) done 3rd quarter of 2019 (9 year flow). There were a lot of 2011 hires and it will take until mid-2020 to get through them (8.5-9 year flow). In 2021 it will drop to around 6.5 years - the 2012/13 hires will go quickly and we will be into the 2014 hires.
So yes, it will drop, but it will be 2021 before it really begins to start dropping.
