Yup, MCO has been a perpetually senior base since it opened in 2001.
Just as an idea of how senior MCO CA is, I've been sitting at around the 10% mark for 3 or 4 years now. I'd be well under the top 10% in almost every other domicile except PHX and LAS E. Most bases I'd be in the 3-5% range.
Every time someone retires out of MCO, another senior pilot or 2, pre positioning for retirement come in to replace them.
There is also a long line of Capts. commuting from MCO because they cannot hold it, waiting to be able to get back as well as some LCs, but that's not gonna be in an issue going forward.
Hopefully, a lot of those folks that would otherwise go to MCO to retire will choose BNA in the future.
We'll see.
