From the WSJ today:
Delta excelled and finished at the top of the Middle Seat Scorecard for the third year in a row. At the bottom of the rankings? American, for the third year in the past five. Those two airlines were on different flight paths in 2019.

The peak is 945 retirements in 2025.
From 2020-2025 we have a min of 4382 retirements.
or 1/3rd of the pilot group.
So many factors affect upgrades. Times could drop or if we get a better reserve contract you may see more senior pilots taking the upgrade. Anybody’s guess.

March 3xp 364 767 CAs. Almost 300 767 FOs above 12,000 seniority. Roughly 85 E190 CAs 13,000 and below. They all are on fleets that are going away by this time next year. Im not saying it won’t continue but too many factors to consider to assume it will stay the same. A little caution would be wise.
