It’s rough, but gets you ballpark. I’m seeing a handful of 2060 and later retirement dates each week, we are hiring very young.

I'm finding it hard to stay when UAL has unfilled CA positions, and I could be in a WB A position within a year. Is there any hope for WB flying at Delta?
This post reeks of “I have not done my homework”. If you want United go to United and sit global and airport reserve for 5 years, lol. But panicking that Delta is at 15k pilots now and will taper hiring from 3000 a year to 15-1800 a year and making up fake statistics like waiting a decade to hold WB B almost makes me feel like this is a troll post.
