Hired at 26 two years ago. 21 years top 2000. 16 years top 1000. 8 years top 100. Final seniority is 2 at retirement.
All is good and well until another merge, another catastrophe, downturn, bankruptcy.... whatever you want to call it.. there hasn't been THAT many people hired in their 20 since I got on. But for reference that's what it looks like for me at 28 years old currently.
I'm less concerned with what's going to happen 38 years from now as compared to the next 3-6. Just enjoy the good times and be prepared for the bad. Its inevitable that they will come. It's more about whether your prepared for it. 20 years from now, if work sucks and I planned correctly I should be able to bid down to a junior base as FO and keep the good times relatively rolling. You could too.

The older eagle flows kinda got screwed - 10-20 years at the regional level and in their 40s to 50s when hired at AA so not a really long career.
