Can someone please post the retirement forecast numbers for the majors?

I have seen it around on here before but can't remember where

 

Just go to APC and click legacy, then under each airlinr the list of mandatory retirements are shown.

 

Ok, I made these charts based off the APC data:

 

Those AA ret #s are sick yo!

 

It's hilarious the one good thing AA has to offer is a massive amount of old dudes.

 

Virgin America has 5 or 6 retirements this year, and Alaska has around 50-60.

 

Why I hung on to the bottom of us air for so long. Between the number of APL guys that never returned* and the baby boomers set to retire from 2013 on ( there was a time when every capt I flew with was as old or older than my parents). If the sh1t doesn't hit the fan in this business and my head doesn't explode before I turn 65 I'll retire with a 2 digit seniority number.

10 years ago I almost stayed j4j at republic but I figured I was single, no kids, no debt and had some cash in the bank so the worst was us air went tits up for real and I had to start over at a commuter. But at least I'd be debt free with a cash cushion so starting over at the bottom of a list wouldn't hurt as much. For now it looks the the gamble paid off. I'll get back to you in 2040 with the full report.

* that comment was meant with the utmost respect for APL guys. I understand how difficult it was to make a decision back in 06-07 wrt to US Air/NIC. I hope those that didn't return have found green pastures.

 

I haven’t done as well as you have. It’s been an interesting two decades since I started there in January 1999. It’s humbling being at the bottom of another seniority list in my mid-40s (vs. my mid-20s back then).

Guess I’ll never achieve those great airline pilot houses and toys since I won’t upgrade until my mid-50s here. But at least I’ve kept food on the table.

 

FedEx is going to retire somewhere around half the list in the next 10 years. 50% company wide yields every CA position minus the 777. That's slightly more senior.

Times are indeed very good. *knock on wood*

 

New thread posted with current Big 6 10 year retirement forecast.

FedEx is at 40%. Fifth place percentage wise.
