You may think I’m crazy by saying that, but the numbers don’t lie. By 2028, the number of retirements will be plus 10,000 than the number of regional pilots in the game today. By 2032 plus 20,000.
Anything can happen in 10 years. However, currently there are no trends in this industry that coincide with your statement. Everything is playing out the same way it has decades ago. Future retirements will not force all regionals to consolidate to WO’s.....
