Major Least affected by 65 - PLZ HELP

[SRJ]

I am curious which airline is over the major attrition hump and has had a majority of the AGE 60 pilots already retire? This will help for future planning. Thanks

Dude plan all you want....The end game will always be an enigma.

Just worry about getting hired and forget about the small things, which by the way...this issue is when put into persective.

American is just starting their big wave of retirements and APA was the only union that was against age 65. You might actually see an increase in retirements over the next few months because of the fear that they might get penalized for retiring early if they retire at 60.

They still have their pension intact. I know I would bolt before they had a chance to change the wording in their contract if I still had a pension and was approaching 60.

How can you say this is a small issue? I think this is a huge issue.

I don't think he would have posted that if he wasn't worried about getting hired. Don't you think this will have an effect on hiring?

The hell it's not... If you are in your early 30s and have your CA upgrade pushed back 5 years, you will have to work, roughly, an extra 2 years to get the same amount of total pay over your career.

So, 2 more years for the same pay. That's two years of working for free.



And to the thread starter... EVERY operation will be affected by this decision. Some will feel it now, some will feel it 10 years from now when their list stagnates.

Whoever is growing with additional aircraft. So whoever that ends up being when age 65 takes place.

At Delta we lost 2300 Cpatians prior to BK due to the pensions. That made our group fairly young compared to others, with 1000 pilots over 50, which includes 500 over 55. Our current hiring spree is due to expansion, not retirements. We are growing and adding INTL routes fast, which require extra pilots. Other airlines, like CAL, are hiring due to expected retirements primarily. That could affect hiring there I would suppose. You have to look at why an airline is hiring, and if it is retirements, then hiring could slow, along with future upgrades. Delta will have less retirements now, but down the road growth could grind to a hault.
