No Aircraft orders since 2005? Yes indeed, this place does suck. And I'm a 21 year CA. So it must be bad.

These are numbers going forward. But for 90 New Hires the Last 8 years is just depressing. With Hundreds retiring the same time frame. So we avg. 10 Hires a year? And please show me the numbers. I don't see 75 a year retiring mandatory the next 10 years. And even if it's true, are these numbers suppose to make up for the last 10? 10 years is 1/3rd of a Career!
And where is the MD replacement? This is why KLM retired it, no parts.
Boeing has said they will not support the MD after 2018. That's three years away. But Zero Orders. You do the math.

If you're going to vent fine...Now you have some facts to actually base your opinion on.

You may have done the math B2, but in my opinion UPS doesn't plan on running an airline for another 20 years. They aren't ordering aircraft because they won't need them. They aren't hiring pilots because they won't need them. Slowly retire aircraft and pilots and eventually you will end up with a hundred airplanes and a thousand pilots. Yes, I'm down on this place right now��

UPS can pay extra for a clipped wing version that burns more fuel !
