Beware when this house of cards gets blown down by what's coming. You never know what "what" is until it's here. Could take us to 13,200 pilots with 3300 on the street, if we furloughed the same percentage as 2001.

67 will reduce retirements for a couple of years. If we continue to hire 2500 per year that gets us to approx 22,000 pilots. Maybe purchase F9.
It’s an interesting goal and I’m excited to see how management peels that onion.

16600 pilots today
Add another 200 to finish out 2023
Add another 15000 (2500/yr for six years, also assumes none of those pilots hit retirement age before 2030)
Subtract 3450 retiring through 2029 (age 67 drops that number to 2050)
----------
28400 pilots
Of course, no one really thinks this hiring rate will continue for another half dozen years...

They’re called black swan events for a reason, every single time it’s something that’s never happened before, or a set of circumstances no one was able to predict.
