756: CA - 5.5% FO - 8.2% Total - 13.7%
777/787: CA - 10.5% FO - 19.9% Total - 30.4%
Total pilots ~ 14,850
And to further parse that out, down the road the 321 and max 10 will be taking most of the 757 flying and it’s likely the 76 flying will go to the 787-8. There are currently 61 757’s and 53 (possibly 52….) 767’s, so solely WB pay pilots should go up about 6.% just due to the 756 fleet retiring. The bus fleet is also probably shrinking slightly even with the Neo/XLR orders and the WB fleet is pegged to grow significantly so it would be interesting to see what these percentages look like extrapolated out to 2030.
