There are 280ish pilots between the ages of 55-60 on the seniority list that will not be required to retire until 65 now instead of 60.
I don't think it looks good for upgrades or hiring for the next few years if this passes - as it seems to be exected now.
If all 280ish can hold onto their medical, and only fly with pilots younger than 60 during that time ... no hiring for a year and a half.
If the other 157 plumbers can do the same, maybe no hiring for a year ....
So if those stars completely align and I hit powerball next week ... there will be no more hiring for 1 year ... realistically !
But I could be wrong, it happened once before, I think ...
