Default Retirement years of the last 1000 new hires

I screwed up. Ended up with 1006. I’ll get over it.

It’s not a perfect way to figure out age at DOH because it covers the last 1.5 years and I didn’t compare retirement date vs DOH but it’s close enough.

I'm certainly jealous. Over the last couple years the majority of new hires have been older than me so many will retire before me. However those guys all in front of the new hires will be gone. I'll retire around 100 and in theory will enjoy a decent career but the newer guys hired on around the same age will have an even better one.

As long as oil stays cheap.

If you’ll retire at 100 out of 15,000, you’ve had more than a “decent” career.

Retiring at 100.....

Only concerns should be:
1. Stay healthy
2. Hope Mgmt doesn’t run company into oblivion
3. Economy/oil price/world peace doesn’t run amok

Your biggest concern should be mergers with other airlines. Imagine a merger with JetBlue or Spirit. No way you would be number 100 after that. It has happened many times and will happen again.

Before the latest big airline merger I was gonna retire #3 and after the SLI it’s still #3. But in the grand scheme of things, who cares? That’s over 30 yrs from now! Anything could happen until then. Another merger, airline goes out of business, Age 67 (or no age), medical out, single pilot, etc. etc.

By n large doing this sort of math is just a futile excercise in mental mathbation.

Oh hahahahhahaha you lost me at the latest “BIG” airline merger. Didn’t Virgin have 800-850 pilots? Also, didn’t Alaska buy Virgin in 2016? Which would make the most senior pilot at Virgin at 8 years?
