Piedmont doesn't! Our first retirement isn't scheduled until 1/23/2013 and that is our Chief Pilot. So really that doesn't count because he doesn't fly.

Piedmont is scheduled to have 7 in 2013, 3 in 2014, 5 in 2015, 10 in 2016, 12 in 2017, and 9 in 2018.

This airline has a lot of older pilots that are not very old. (Mid to late 50's)

Our number 1 guy who has been here 32 years will not retire until September 2017 making 40 years with a regional.

Granted this is if these guys can make it that long. I am sure the decades of flying with "inexperienced" pilots, doing 4-6 legs a day, eating airport food and or Piedmont crew meals, and complaining about their low pay will probably cause them to retire early. Lets hope so!
