That's impossible to tell. Many things could happen to change the future. All I know is that FedEx has NEVER furloughed a pilot. That's pretty amazing in this industry. They have a lot of positive things going for them in the future. Growth in China. More Airbusses coming (A-300 and A380). Reliability. People pay a premium for that.

Here are the retirement numbers,they are kind of old, but that's what I found, (based on age 60 only) for FedEx from another website, updated as of Nov 03:

2006 159

2007 168

2008 159

2009 136

2010 164

2011 158

2012 188

2013 183

2014 154

2015 176

2016 204

2017 205

2018 209

2019 206
