I don't disagree with that statement.

Age 67, rolling back the 1500 hour requirement, bringing in Australian or European pilots (OO already does that with aussies). One way or another I can see a few more attempts to kick the can down the road. Don’t forget about the next recession right around the corner, that will help keep the regionals afloat I’m sure

Varies by airline but overall peaks about four or five years from now IIRC. But it will be above historical averages from now until sometime after 2030.

For Delta it’s 2022 and for American 2023. But both will be having retirements at a higher rate than they currently are through 2030, Delta through 2035.

Is the hiring going to slow down in those peak years ? In other words, are they hiring TODAY to plan for the future, or are they hiring TODAY because they need bodies TODAY/NOW.
