A wave that’ll push you to ankle deep surf, that’s NOW.
Anything after 2023/2024 and you might as well just go snorkeling below the waves.

Unlike times past when a generational replacement was primarily with similar age (young) pilots....The age spread among pilots joining the majors is going to provide even the last one aboard some movement.
Even the long term plug at a major or ulcc has a considerably bright economic earnings forecast. The qol could be better....but it would still be a job that puts one near the top of wage earners. And in most cases provide genuine and secure retirement savings growth.

It doesn’t have to be deadly to be disruptive to the economy. If factories and plants have to close due to quarantines or sick workers that will disrupt supply chains. Those workers aren’t pulling in paychecks so they, in turn, spend less.
