Well… this could be a slight blessing in disguise for Southwest. The bulk of our movement isn’t based on retirements but expansion. Our retirements are pretty damn anemic in comparison to the legacies.

*Might just have shot ourselves in the foot as several folks will have access to a Delta guy giving them some great career advice and/or his recommendations for his friends to join us will yield some extra $ on the side. Talk about timing.

Of course there will be folks disagreeing with: “He’s taking another pilot’s spot and already has his retirement set” etc., but good for him and it’s beyond the normal experience we hire at an ACMI. It is what it is as he’s telling his friends now so yes, it does beg some curiosity but won’t be too impactful like extending the retirement age. He is an exceptional guy to fly with so there’s that.
