It seemed at least once a week this year we would get news of a pilot passing away. That could be some of the additional movement this year. Anyone know if these folks passing are on sick leave, freak accidents, or just keeling over? I've seen a lot of stuff that indicates that even a healthy person that works out can be overcome by too much sedentary time. Is this job killing is? Second, I think that there must be a new policy of passing along the news of a death in the pilot ranks. I know there were DL pilots who passed away in years past where if you didn't know the guy, you would never know. So in the past, there might of been just as many, just we never found out. |

I saw a story awhile back that said we took all the old F-14's and F-14 spare parts and put them through a metal shredder because the black market was getting parts to Iran. I guess we don't mind them getting F-4 parts too much. Of course, there are too many out there for us to ever keep them from getting them.

Were the 55 early outs removed from the Dec seniority list? Seems like I moved up a lot of #'s, more than usual.

The early outs don't start going for the most part until 1 JAN. There should be around 20 that date. The rest are spaced out for a bit. We are starting to see a return to more normal attrition rates. Over double the number of pilots left in 14 then straight age 65.
Another fun fact since I'm bored today. Since Jul 2007 there have been 1358 pilots senior to me leave the list. That works out to 181 Average per year. That is a lot better than it has seemed. Lowest year 2008 with 44. Highest year 2012 with 259. |

A few seniority facts for the junior folks.
According to my math we had 241 retirements for 2014 based on the Dec seniority list. I think we had less than 100 mandatory retirements scheduled. 2015 has 146 mandatory retirements scheduled. At the start of 2014 I had 1099 guys/gals junior to me on the list At the start of 2015 I will have 2037 guys/gals junior to me. That is 938 numbers added to the list for the year. 12,316 total pilots on the list. 12,430 total pilots on the day of the SLI Dec 2008 January classes should put us back over the total number of pilots we had the date of the SLI. Not a bad year for seniority movement at Delter. |

OPEC is wrong to think it can outlast U.S. on oil prices - MarketWatch
Bring it on Saudi Arabia. Hopefully they lose enough money that they can't pay for their A-380's. |
