Both please.

The exercise is a bit pointless.

There was a time that I was going to be a wide body Captain (be seniority on a list) for the last 11 years of my career at Brand X. I was going to be #1 for the last 3 years.

Lists mean nothing in a consolidating industry with jobs going to RJs.

I wouldn't read too much into the... honestly. You'll get more happiness out of a 6 pack of Budweiser.

Thats until they move to age 70, hey congress is talking about changing the retirement age

Source ?

And, please give us specifics as to exactly who in congress is talking about changing the retirement age.

Which list?

Should have been more specific, no that my question is no longer on the same page....

I was looking for a breakdown showing how many guys are retiring each year

like:

(examples of course)

2010 - 75
2011- 120
2012- yada
2013- yada
2014-ya


I don't care if it's just east or west or both, preferably both.
I remember hearing that big numbers would be retiring by 2015, something like 30-40% and was curious if this was really true.
Thx in advance,
Z.

Exactly, so much of what people think is true is Yahoo's making stuff up on the internet.

You are probably right, especially with the volatility in the price of oil. However I'd still like the information please.

Not sure of the truth, but a vicious rumor has it that EVERY Captain at USAirways, on the A-330/767 is over 60. I understand this is true of both reserve, and line holding captains. I suppose that USAirways is the most senior of the pilot groups?

Since when did you have to be twenty one to get hired at a regional? There was a guy at my regional who was 18 when he was hired 3 years ago. Has there been some sort of rule put in place during the last 3 years requiring people to be 21?

When I got hired in '05 it was 21. I only know this because I was 22 and payed attention to that detail. I was also the 2nd youngest in the class. Glancing at the jobs page now it looks like the min is 20.
