I think the lifers are going to age out of the pilot group. Few of them actually WANTED to be lifers, simply getting trapped in the regionals by the lost decade and now so senior it actually doesn’t make sense either economically or QOL for them to start over again as the plug FO somewhere else. But when you have 50 year old CAs at the second tier (SWA, JetBlue, Alaska, Spirit, Frontier, etc) jumping to the Big Three, I can’t imagine anybody under that age is now ASPIRING to be a regional lifer, meaning the regional CA crunch will only worsen over time.
