This very moment you're absolutely right. Ten years down the road? No way. Looking at the retirement numbers in the next 10-15 years the majors could empty every regional seniority list and still not have enough.
My prediction is within 10 years the Majors will start to consistently hire pilots with no PIC time.
you assume that the airline will hire to replace current staffing levels pre-retirement. Perhaps they "shrink to profitability" on some level to not grow nearly as large and perhaps realize they are not too large to fail
