Realy no way to figure out that number... thats my 20 year educated guess... based off of knowing the top 1000 pilots here pretty well..

There's lifers who admit it and easily 3x-4x as many who might say they want out but will never do anything about it. A huge percentage of our pilot group does not have a 4 year degree.

600?! You obviously haven't looked at the master seniority list for a while

And even if they are not lifers, they have worked here long enough that they will benefit from the boost in 401k.
True. It's amazing how many 10 year CAs give you a blank look when you ask if they have apps out. I honestly would say that 70 percent of the CAs I fly with have zero interest in moving on. I'm honestly not exaggerating that percentage.

Why is this a question you are consistently asking? It is none of your or anyone elses business. You're going to be a real joy when you get to a major and tell us all about where you had apps in while we try to read or hit on the lead.

Where do you live?
Got any kids?
Laugh at Delta doing something Delta.
What's your church calling? (optional)
So you trying to get out?

That's the first leg.

I guess it depends on where you're based... Crummy pairings have caused my W2 to decrease for the last 5 years.

Yeah I’m highly sceptical of his math skills.

Are you serious? It's small talk. Besides "where do you live?", "Got kids?", "So how'd you get into flying?", "How long you been here", the next most commonly asked question is "Got your apps in?"

What the heck else do you talk about?
