I’m sure the trend is to go down initially and than go up, but will it get to 20-30 years like AA?
Junior 767-300 Captain is about 2 years (mostly domestic category)
Junior 767-400 Captain is 23 years (mostly domestic international category).
Junior A330/A350 is 24 years.
Most international WB Captains are 25+ years. The junior international WB captain (excluding 767-300) will drop to 17 years in 2024 if current trends continue, then 11 years in 2025. It could also end up 19 years in 2026 if age 67 passes.
The most correct answer is top 20% of the seniority list regardless of date of hire. Peaks and valleys in hiring make a huge difference. 2001-2007 is one seniority number. 2007-2014 is only 1,000 numbers. Jan -June of this year is also 1,000 numbers.
