The data is based on age 65 retirements, so it doesn't show much movement for a couple of years, but it's still good information.

Just tried to register and the option for a delta.com email was not available. Server bombed anyway, so will have to wait for a response from webmaster.

Webmaster just responded and said that he is not setup yet for "new Delta" registrations yet and will take that link down until that time.

The D-ALPA web page has the information as well. Go to your page and the retirement calculator. It gives the 12.31 est. It is a good guess.

That crystal ball's kind of depressing. I'm going to be on reserve for the next 5 years. I'm only going to have my last 15 years to fly as a widebody captain (if I stay to 65).

I have learned to just be thankful for what I have and hope that I can stay doing this job until "I" make the decision to get out vs a medical issue.

1234,

Very good point. Very few of us realize how much garbage we eat and how little we move and how hard it will be to actually be able to stay till 65 even if we are superintitled to :)

Hockey:
This will be true if we sell anymore scope. If not and we actually retain teh 76+ seat flying you may be an A sooner than that. Time will tell as the next few years will test if what we are saying is more than just words.

Unless you touch poison oak, scratch an itch on your forehead, then your stomach, followed by a quick bathroom break. Time to burn every last piece of green in my backyard!!!:mad::mad:
