No Sh*t other Airlines are 2x or 4X larger. But 30 retirements a year times 4 is 120. Most Airlines are in the 300 to 600 range of retirements a year. If not more.
Hiring 25 or having a System wide Vacancy of 9 upgrades is a Joke. A Bad Joke. But it's reality here at UPS. 9? Seriously?
Or 65 New Hires over the course of 8 years. 2007 till mid 2015 we will have hired 65 pilots. Wow!

It's such an unfair world.

I once flew with an ex Pan Am pilot who'd been a junior flight engineer for 14 years. a lot of the guys at Delta were engineers for 7 years, imagine the stagnation! Yet they weren't 1/16 as bitter as the guys on here..weird.

Apples to oranges dude...industry wide stagnation is different to one we're in as there are growth all around and our employer decided to take the opposite route.....outsourcing..hiring direct entry captains..shrinking the union force...etc etc.

Much of the hiring that is going on now really is not covering for any growth at any of the airlines. Pilot attrition is what is driving this new wave of hiring. Most, if not all of the airlines with a/c on order are not in any type of growth mode. The new a/c airlines are receiving now, are mostly a 1 for 1 swap. New a/c shows up.....replaces old a/c shipped of to boneyard.
