what are the retirement numbers for the next couple of years?b

As it stands right now, it looks like there will be approximately 6-10 pilots to retire (assuming you mean by the Age 60 rule) in the next five years, which is not really a lot. Although there are a few of us () that are keeping their fingers crossed that the self imposed Age 52 rule will apply and in that case, you might see a few more retire early. A lot of that has to do with the stock market and that could trigger some more retirements. But on the other hand, if you choose to listen to the doom-sayers, (which I suspect will be replying to this thread any minute now)it won't matter anyway because JB will be a thing of the past.

Hope this helped.

Although that not what the man asked, yes, B6 does have a retirement plan. Read, retirement, not pension plan.

What's the upgrade time lately -- (Airbus only)?

One year and 8 months to one year and 9 months.

actually guys getting hired today won't see the left seat for at least 2 years...closer to 3 depending on how long you want to sit reserve....

 

[B6Busdriver]

I should have said guys and gals going to upgrade have been here 20 to 21 months.

B6 A320 Upgrade

My 1 year anniversary is in a month.

I'm still 200+ numbers out from the bottom number captain right now. There'll be 18 upgrades in OCT and then 10/month for the forseeable future. There are a lot of folks that have bypassed upgrade (I haven't counted exactly - but the break in the seniority list between mostly captains and mostly F/O's is somewhere between 300-350).

I'm expecting at least 18 months more before my number comes up. Then if I took it, I'd be on reserve for 18 months to 2 years (if I take the first upgrade offered to me - because of all the bypasses coming back in on top of me).

I think this is a realistic guess. However, this could all change depending on what happens early next year when the system bid goes out for the E190.

Cheers.

I never heard of this age 52 rule. What is it?

Just like I said, "self imposed". Translates to the age in which I am aiming to retire. Wish me luck.

If you've been here a year (like me)I think 36 to 42 months to hold a line in the left seat is off.

There are only about 40-50 people who have bypassed the upgrade right now. (I counted) Assuming that number remains constant...

and assuming ~120 upgrades a year.


Lowest JFK lineholder was 435 for next month. So if you're < 300 numbers away, that's about 2.5 years to hold a line...Not counting for retirements, resignations, movement to the 190 etc. Which should push the number down to about 2 years.

My uneducated guess anyway.
