Legacy Airline Pilot Retirements Statistics
 

Does anyone have a graph or spreadsheet showing the exact number of retirements that will take place over the next 10 years at legacy carriers?

Looking for factual numbers. Specifically, each airline, total number of pilots - for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, etc Thanks.

There have been threads on this in the past for most of the major airlines. Do a search on the word "retirement".

not sure bout the format your looking for but if you do a search there are threads with all the carriers you could imagine.

Southwest has 264 pilots who are 60 years of age or older.

DAL retirements really kick in a few years. We will be looking at 800+ retirements a year for over five years with the years surrounding them at 500+

I will literally go from 60% to top 15% in seven years.

Hey ACL,
Looking at your retirement projections, it appears 43 folks will retire thru 2012. If my math is correct, these folks had to have been 60+ at the age change , unless they had a Dec07 birthday.

Were all of these folks in a 747 s/o position ala FedEx and UPS ?

Did some/all of them move up to a window seat on the last MOAB's ?

Just curious.....

Most were 60+ and in the side saddle.

trust me these numbers are dead on.

There certainly won't be a pilot shortage, however anyone that has high qualifications is going to sucked up by the majors pretty quick. Age 65 sucks!!!

I know last time, DAL was running out of ppl they really wanted to interview. We will see how long that lasts this time.

Must be why they hired me then!!
