The crazy thing is, people talk about that retirement boom thing and think, wait, assume that it's 12,000 pilots from today! I'm sure someone said that about 5 years ago. So for the sake of argument, that's a 12 year period. Which makes it 1000 jobs per year. Hrm...I wonder if people still talk the boom when you put things in that perspective.
