Day/Night, a quick look at a list shows me approx 50 retires a year until 2015, This excludes F/E's as most of them are already over 60. Next year being the most retires with 80 and i think 2011 the least with 25 retires. I dont know how rapidly these over 60 guys/gals will be leaving with our new contract but when they do leave the hiring will be for F/E positions.

We have a large group of pilots in their mid/late 40's. The current plan seems to be the major growth being a new ANC domicile growing to about 600 or so crewmembers in 5 years. The expected time to captain is thought to go very junior in ANC possibly 5 to 7 years.

Any help?
