There seems to be a wealth of misinformation out there about SWA retirements...anyone know how many are retiring each year for the next 10 years? I have seen 10% by end of 2006 and 40% by 2010. I believe the 10%, but do not buy the 40% number.
Thanks
Previous post have reffered to 50 pilots retiring this year.
I just reviewed the top 800 guys on the SWA seniority list and came up with 15 who face mandatory age retirement this year. Course there might be a few more guys in that same boat who are lower on the seniority list, but it can't be a-lot.
Don't know how we can get any "real" numbers unless SWAPA has put something out and one of the guys on the "inside" lets us know. Perhaps the seniority list is available digitally and someone can put it into a spread sheet???
And, for the record, I don't really care. I'm going when they call me!!!
Alright guys, I got nothing better to do tonight and the seniority list right in front of me. Ill see what I can come up with and post it by the end of the night.
By the way thanks guys. I get alot of the best gouge from you guys on whats going on.
At our interview on 4 Feb 02. The briefing by the Asst Chief Pilot for Training said that SWA would need to hire about 250 new pilots in 2003 just to replace retirees. This does not include dudes who call it quits earlier than age 60.
