Group 2 Captain just hit 3 years
#22
My list shows 6,260 retirements in the next 7 years....1/1/20-12/31/26 and that is just mandatory ones. 782, 853, 874, 960, 932, 956, 903 and then it drops off slightly to the 700s and 600s for the next few years.
The kind of movement we just saw on this past bid is just the start of a whole lot of movement.

Looking back, probably not. If I could have held G4 fo in DFW I wouldn't have done it. At the time, even G4 fo would have been commuting to reserve, so I figured if I was going to do that, I'd take the extra $$. Spending a few years commuting to crash pad reserve at 50 wasn't exactly as much fun as I remembered it being.

is that true? I’m trying to figure the math on that one. Say someone was hired at 25 years old. They would need 11,000-12,000 pilots to retire in 9 years to be the bottom group IV captain at 34 years old. In 9 years we are projecting 6-7,000 retirements correct? 34 seems like a stretch, 40 years old seems very likely.

This just tells me that all our contracts are so bad that most of the list is unwilling to accept being junior, more so in the domestic system. But it's great for junior guys to be able to make some coin...if you're schedule is going to suck either way, might as well make the cash!
