2019 has 448 Age 65 retirements on the books, so using the extra 33%, its probably more like 596.
From Jan-Sept this year, 384 folks have left the list so far. Aveage has been 43 per month.
43/month x 4 remaining monhts = 172
384 + 172 = 556 so it appears we are on track for about 25% more than planned for 2019.
If we only hire 490 this year, we will be approx 69 new hires less than attrition.
Note: went to public school....math in public waiver.

That’s the key to understanding which categories are more adversely affected by retirements. It would also be the best way to see how JVs are impacting our top-end jobs.

I’m not defending our current AE process, however, there were ~80 widebody Capts awarded in Jan, and ~390 awarded in Mar.

While there is obviously a pecking order (not a chicken reference) of pilots, once hired, our past is a footnote - some may be more interesting than others.
I have been extremely impressed by everyone hired in the last five years that I have flown with.
