with a house there I’m guessing you know this already. As was mentioned 717 QOL can’t be beat. But I fear the growth at HA is slowing down. UA retirements are appealing and a real Major. Though decision, good luck.
Yes, planning on 100K per kid starting mid/high school ouch! GI bill will offset when time for college.
I think HAL is still growing (not more than united of course) w/ more 321 NEOs slated to come and the 787s in 2021.
Can you expand on retirements? I'm hearing HAL is 20-30 a year retiring but for a 850ish pilot group (3% yr), that may be comparable to united? 15,000 pilots at 3% year is approx. 450 yr retiring.
