May 2023 retirements
I noticed on this week's chief pilot information line that we have 18 pilots retiring this month. Looking at the IPA seniority tool we are only due 22 for the whole remainder of the year. Not sure how this relates to any other month, it just caught my curiosity. I thought we were somewhere above 100 age 65 retirements next year and now that number is 61.

It’s really eye opening to me to see how tired and run down guys and gals look in SDF during the night sort. It’s no wonder people are punching out early as A. It ain’t healthy flying these **** schedules and B. It’s not getting better anytime soon,

I’m not surprised with the quality of the schedules. I’m trying to figure out how we’re flying less block hours but the schedules have gotten worse. Add in the payroll shenanigans and the decision to punch out early becomes that much easier.

Early retirements seems to be effectively smoothing out the retirement bulge so far. Their good news is faster seniority now. The downside is the seniority progression elevator will slow down sooner (i.e. the hiring wave may effectively rest a couple years earlier than was projected).
