Based on our more than double growth but few retirement and delta retirements but little growth.
And then everyone could chime and and criticize your math. Any takers?

Anyone have a different opinion?

The legacy carriers have already hired thousands of pilots each over the past 5 years or so. Anyone hired from this point on will eventually stagnate somewhere around 50-60 percent and be lucky to retire in the top 30 percent. In my estimation. If you are hired between now and this time next year here, you would be top 50 in less then 5 years? Retire in top 20 assuming the pilot group doubles in size.

Sounds like they are about to change the entire training footprint.
Mixing up FTDs and SIMs, more CBTs, etc. I'm not promising that there will be study at home, but that's what they made it sound like
