Retirement #s: (pardon the formatting) #s start in 2012
AAI: 1, 14, 19, 14, 24, 18, 19, 19, 2020: 18, 35, 28, 43, 51, 46, 68, 72, 65, 63, 2030: 78, 8, 84, 93, 105, 100, 38*
WN: 3, 129, 107, 140, 160, 148, 105, 133, 2020: 149, 176, 166, 188, 221, 240, 272, 278, 250, 239, 2030:, 222, 216, 209, 171, 186, 169, 65*

IOW, AAI is a young group of pilots. In the first 10 years after this age 65 pig is through the python, AAI will retire 181 pilots (10.9% of their list), WN will retire 1250 (21.5% of their list).

Note, the numbers may not be exact, if a guy is older than me (but junior), his number MAY not included. My MS Excel Kung Fo is not strong, so ...

* = then I retire

Edited: Looks like UALExpress answered while I was compiling my numbers; his AAI numbers are probably more accurate (though we are only off by 1s & 2s, here and there).

That's certainly a consideration in "career expectations."

I didn't realize it was so far skewed.

HEY PALS, it is even more skewed at DL/NWA. 2000 Capts left at Delta prior to the BK, and very few left at NWA. It apparently didn't matter much to the 3 arbitrators.

Regardless, ALL OF YOU ARE FANTASTIC. IT WILL ALL BE "BETTER" WHEN IT IS OVER. JUST KEEP SAYING THAT."IT WILL BE OK, IT WILL BE FINE." And if you have time today, try to do something nice to someone or something, like throwing old chicken McNuggets to the birds at the park. Heck, birds will eat anything. See ya!


Bye Bye--General Lee

HEY BEST FRIENDS. How do you know 81 FOs will retire by 2020? Are they not upgradable? Are they the SWA pilots that frequent FI? Just wondering MY BROTHERS!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!

Regardless, ALL OF YOU ARE FANTASTIC PEOPLE. JUST TOP NOTCH DUDES. If you have ANY time today, please oh please do something nice for someone or something, like NOT bringing in your own candy at a Movie theatre. Hey, those guys have to make a profit somehow! See ya!


Bye Bye--General Lee
 
General Lee--easy answer: they will turn 65 before 2020 and are FOs at the current time. They might upgrade to Captain before retirement. Some of them retired from US and came to SWA for the last 10 years. They figured out they could make more money starting over at SWA than at US--and have a better life at the same time. I've flown with a couple and they're pretty solid guys.
