Friendly, my man…. Those NGs are going to get parked at some point…. Unless there’s another Narrowbody order in the chamber down the road (likely)…. There’s growth and replacements factored in.

Some numbers right off our projections.
There is a female pilot hired in late 2018 at 23 in fact she turned 23 just before class. She will hold WB Captain by 36 fly it for 29 years if she wants.
Fast forward to another 23 year old hired 6 months ago. They only will hold WB Capt last 12 years yes still good but nothing like 2018.
A friend was hired at 45 3 months ago so 20 years. He does not get below 8700
If you are over 37 you will not get senior here period. Good career yes

Interesting. I'm not 37 but very low 30s. Ultimately there's nothing I can do about it but I'm definitely worried about being this side of the big hiring wave. Time will tell how that impacts my career, not anything I can do about it. I get bummed out when I dwell on it, so I try not to dwell.
