Yep we'll have more issues then the WO's. We retire over 650 pilots next year. The fact that number will go up each year and it seems we can only train about 650 a year is a much more of a problem to deal with.
I think eventually the WO'ed pilots will be frozen at there airlines however at the same time be given a seniority number. It will be interesting how this goes over in the next 4-5 years.
