If you you retire with unused vacation it is only going to be paid at 3 hours a day.

Are the mandatory retirements listed on the Airline Pilot Central UPS page accurate? Are there really 400+ pilots retiring in 2031? It looks like 90% of the current pilots will have to retire in 20 years with the numbers provided.

On 1 March 2017 there were 2642 IPA pilots on the seniority list.
There are 1045 mandatory Age 65 retirements through end of 2027, 1561 through the end of 2030, 2141 through the end of 2035, and 2302 through the end of 2037.
Systemwide junior CA typically runs about 65%, although in the big bid last December the junior CA award was around 75% at that time.

The UPS page on this site has had some erroneous info in the last few months. It previously had indicated our contract ratification bonus was a signing bonus for new hires. Several friends looking for jobs called and asked me about it. The site just corrected that a month ago. Not sure where the retirement numbers came from.

Many of these old guys don't have the necessary hobbies to retire early and/or are greedy. They love the money more than living a longer life.

I said 40-50. And that maybe too optimistic. The reason I started this thread is because you have all these people flying the line making up crazy wishful numbers. Or they heard this from the Van driver. Over a 100 retirements prints ordered, etc.
It's nice to dream, but if you have Captains from day one in 1988 making excuses to stay for medical insurance cost, they aren't leaving early.

$120k a year A fund and many years in left seat to prepare for life beyond. We got into this knowing that 60 should be the target and now medical is the next excuse for poor planning. $10k a year or less.... REALLY!?!?
