Regional Lifers
Hey many does your airline have? I am curious to see what the rough percentage of pilots who will retire at their regional airline.
I'll start at estimating at least 100 pilots PSA will be lifers. Basing the people who arent flowing that can flow over, some of the comair sim instructors and the 60+folks who will likely retire within the next 5 years.

I would say even the "OO" lifers are reconsidering.. Seen some senior people leave.. But i would guess 300-400 out of 4000 that will stay. Mostly SLC.. (Only because its the oldest established base)

Agreed. The average age of an SLC CA must be 10+ years older than the average SKW CA (judging purely by my own personal experience.)

I'm one of them. I'm 50, have a community college education and an A&P license with nearly 20 years of experience maintaining airliners. I am not qualified to move on so I'll stay at Compass. The thing that worries me is that I don't think Compass will be around in 15 years but I can always go back to being an A&P I suppose.
