I agree.
To the OP, I don’t know a time frame, I’d guess for guys hired in 2014 it’ll be about 2030 to be bottom of the barrel G4 CA in JFK. For our newest hire maybe 2036 to 2037. So maybe 16 to 17 years. Then I think that number will start to rise just based on the limited number of G4 CA jobs at the company vs the number of young new hires.
The 787 replacing the 767 will reduce the number somewhat, but as our new hire age drops, that doesn’t bode well for future new hires in terms of wide body Captain.
