I don’t know why people spend the time to crunch these numbers when there are too many variables that would make significant changes. The moral of the story is get your apps filled out and network and maybe good things will come to you!

Don’t forget Alaska which I think is around 350, which should just about cover attrition (not retirements)

American: 1,200+ pilots Delta: 1,300+ pilots United: 1,200+ pilots Southwest: 500+ pilots JetBlue: 500+ pilots FedEx: 600+ pilots UPS: 300+ pilots Spirit: 600+ pilots Frontier: 300+ pilots Allegiant: 100+ pilots Epstein: didn't kill himself. Just hiring in 2020 is looking like well north of 6,000 pilots are going to be hired next year alone. |
There is a recession fast approaching
|
How fast is fast because alarmist have been saying that for the past 4 years now.
|
On a average a US recession lasts 18 months. If it does come soon it will finish way before the retirements do.
|
You can well bet the MAX fix is quick fast and in a hurry on its way. That, coupled with the planned retirements is gonna be a shocker to some of these bottom feeder dogsh!t carriers.
I’m still laughing. And |

See, my point is this. And this has become easy to spot since internet message boards became common place in the late 90s. Alarmist will scream "a recession is coming" every year, heck even every month. They will be wrong month after month, even year after year. Then one day it comes, as it always does because the economy is cyclical, and they will say "see I told you so" in their smug little alarmist face.
Same thing has been going on in these massage boards. You can go back in look, for the past 5 years this recession was supposed to be just around the corner. Just weeks or months away. There were signs out there. A lull in the housing market, interest rates were changing, Sears was going out of business. blah blah blah blah. But you know what, I am going to say it too. The Recession is coming. Sometime within the next month to 10 years. And I will be right too. *smug face* |
