Now if we only knew the pilots needed number for all of those airlines. That way we are not tricked into thinking we have a chance to move up so we agree to sub standard pay.

Dont worry about jetblue. We have about 100 retirements in the next 10 years.

jetBlue rough estimate.

2013-7
2014-2
2015-4
2016-7
2017-10
2018-13
2019-12
2020-17
2021-25
2022-36
2023-37
2024-49
2025-69
2026-59
2027-56
2028-78
2029-96
2030-107

just an educated guess at these numbers there is no official list or publication... but we really hit our stride in 2030! Roughly 107/yr drop off from 2031-2040.

2012- 14
2014- 110
2015- 100
2016- 140
2017- 160

2022- 176
2023- 266
2024- 188
2025- 221
2026- 240
2027- 272
2028- 278
2029- 250
2030- 250
2031- 239

What I believe were Air Tran's numbers were this;
2012- 0
2013- 14
2014- 18
2015- 13
2016- 20
2017- 16
2018- 18
2019- 17
2020- 18
2021- 31
2025- 25
2026- 41
2027- 46
2028- 43
2029- 62
2030- 67
2031- 56
2032- 55
2033- 63

I got the following *estimate* from an Atlas guy;
2013- 35
2014- 50
2015- 50
2016- 50
2017- 50

Can you believe the leading voice in the U.S. for the great "American Pilot Shortage" movement took a leap of faith across a Arizona Mesa and plunged to his untimely demise? December 21st too! At 13:22 to the second. I used to commute to my internship, in 2000, on the Boston Green Line "T" and read all of the articles in Flying Magazine about the great pilot shortage. In 2009, when I needed a job, I couldn't get one. What do these numbers really mean? Delta has been doing a really good job of making a ton of dough and not hiring many pilots. Maybe 80 since 2008? I hope all of the unhappy, well qualified, mid-seniority Jblue FO's leap at the chance to fly heavy metal for Delta and United. If that other leap possibility actually becomes reality.
