Major Airline Retirements
I thought I would post this before it becomes obsolete. These are numbers I have dug up and collected from multiple threads. These numbers are between 3-6 months old, so they are not 100% accurate, but they should give a good glimpse into retirement numbers at major airlines.
Once again, these are slightly old numbers and they cannot be verified. These are only numbers that people who work for these airlines have posted. I think they are still pretty useful. It is going to be interesting to see how a possible change to age 60 could shake this industry up.

NWA has a few guys/gals retiring, too. 
2008................... 239
2009................... 166
2010................... 188
2011................... 187
2012................... 207
2013................... 207
2014................... 239
2015................... 278
2016................... 260
2017................... 295
I think there are still 100 or so to go thru the end of this year, also.
Not exact numbers, but in the ballpark.

Retirements
Industry wide there are perhaps between 1000 to 1500 annual retirements over the next ten years or so at the majors. Unless they expand rapidly there will be slim pickings for those hoping to jump to the majors.

'Slim pickings' are a hell of an improvement from 'no one is hiring.'
Not that forecasts beyond maybe 12 months are worth anything anyway.
Go ahead and tell me I'm wrong.

Forecast
Ah it doesn't matter what the thread, you're always handy with a wet blanket. I guess slim pickings are good as everyone I know who went looking in past two years has been picked up.

You might call my views as a wet blanket however I would refer to them as an honest evaluation. I am sure that you will reach your career goals. The next question will be it you will be able to hang on to them.

I gotta ask since this is been discussed so much. Who's to say everyone would retire 5 years later w/the age 65 limit? Don't most companies allow for some form of early retirement? I'm new to the industry, so I honestly don't know.
I would think the age 65 rule will slow seniority somewhat, but not as much as folks would think.
