Delta retirees in the 2025 ish range could dam near absorb an entire regional in a single year. Mesa,Comair,TSA,PSA,AW.

I keep hearing rediculous numbers from random people in passing so I thought I'd do a little research. Problem is, I only have access to Delta's seniority list. I was hoping some folks could chime in with numbers from other big airlines. So here is what I've got for Delta from the Aug2009 combined seniority list.
It seems like the BIG boom is from 2021- 2024 ranging in the low to high 800's per year.
