Solely dependent upon your age.

With an S2 you might first on non- business travel segments. Other than that, forget it.

My bet 7 years.....we lose 3500 guys in the next 5 years.

Upgrades at Delta have been at 14 years. It's expected with retirements to only come down to 12 years.

It also depends on how important it is for you to wear five black stripes on your epaulet. If you want to commute to reserve in NYC on a narrowbody, and spend all your on call days in a crashpad, it may be less than five years. If you want to be based anywhere else and not be super-junior, then you are probably looking at closer to 10.

We DO have lots of retirements coming up, and they will really start kicking in about two years from now.

The retirement numbers aren't what some are saying. We lose 99 in 14', 171 in 15', 229 in 16', 291 in 17' and 418 in 18'. That's a whopping 1208 in the next 5 years. Also most are staying till age 65. It does increase till 2023 then starts going back down.
