They didn’t have enough retirements in 2008. Not even close to what they are doing now.

If United wanted to furlough 2000 pilots at this point in time it’s just cheaper to furlough off the top due to retirements.

Retirements do you nothing if the list shrinks.
Was this pre or post MAJOR industry consolidation? Similar retirement percentages to now? Are major airlines in an up-gauging trend or a down-gauging trend? Has our growth rate been slowing or speeding up? Or do you just like to continue to say really stupid feces?

Never mind, I already know the answer to every question I just asked, but you should think about it for a while no-talent rump-clown.
