Just looking at retirement numbers alone, where would someone end up if they started with 20 years of time left? How about 30 or 40 years? Thanks!
50% of the Big 3 pilots will have to retire by 2025. The big uptick starts around 2020 and it tapers by 2035. I think at least 75% of their pilots will be gone by then. I wouldn't be surprised to see 80%+ of the current lists gone by then. It's probably safe to assume the average retirement will be around 62.5, so move those years up a year or two if you want. This is based on no mainline growth as well.

I still think a fair amount of the new hires coming on board will retire in the 2025-2035 timeframe, so even someone getting on by 2025 will see good movement for 10 years after that. After 2035, well you are just going to have to wait until the mid-late 40's to see a chunk of this waive retire.

~85% is holding NY CA right now. With no growth or shrinking, a pilot hired today will hit 50% within 7-10 years. A pilot hired in the 2018-2020 timeframe should hit the 50% mark in less years.

If you're from the NY area, Delta would be a great place to go right now.

Is a rec from a Delta pilot listing their Delta.com email address on AirlineApps the same as sending an email to the HR folks internally? Thanks!

NO.

The email to the hiring people triggers your App to be pulled for scoring. If it scores well enough you'll get an interview invite, if not you won't. The email pulls your app from the abyss of 12,000+ (?) apps to be scored.

The email address on the AirlineApps rec is probably irrelevant.

You REALLY want your Delta pilot friend to send and email for you...

Is there an unwritten rule on how many recs or how frequently a DL pilot can recommend someone?

Can fairly new-hire people (done training but flying the line) recommend people?

I think each person can send an email for you once a year. Anyone with a delta employee number can recommend someone.

Both statements true. Jim Graham told us in INDOC we could recommend people.

Any idea of how many they are interviewing a week? Is that number going to go up if so, when? Thanks for the good intel.
