They also were interviewing last week, so interviews are still going on.

Good luck guys.
Curious, what's this hiring for? Net growth is just 1-2 planes over 12 months, so is this to cover retirements? Block hr increase? Or..... ?

Yes 5 next year and 4 in 2018. The 2020 decade does pick up in double digits per year. Combined VX+AS retirements for the next 10 years, 2017-2026, are approx 625.

I would love to see the combined retirements compared to the big three over the next 30 years. Anyone have data on that?

It's to cover the high number of sick calls when the SLI document is released

Edit: 7 for 2018.

And ~675 retirements 10 yrs 2017-2026 at combined VX/AS.




I only did 10 yrs out. Previous post from another thread:

For the next 10 years (2017-2026), the combined retirements are total 675.

675/2500 = Just 27% of the pilot group retires in the next 10 years.

In comparison over the same time frame, Delta retires 6,600 the next 10 years of a total ~13,500 which is nearly 50% - half the seniority list. United retires 4500 out of 12,500 which is almost 40% over the next 10. And American does the highest, retiring ~8,100 the next 10 yrs out of 15,300 total which means 53% of their current pilots will be gone by then.

Always has been a great stepping stone job....one of the best....Even with this cluster of a merger getting underway...just dont get comfy...The only time our contract is not pathetic is when all the majors are in bankruptcy
