UAL/CAL/AMR/USAIR/DELTA Retirements

[abefly]

Anyone have the hard numbers for US? I remember hearing that it was around 25-35 a month beginning in 2013, but I don't have the list in front of me to verify.

Here are the number I have from 2007. I guess ad the 5 years. Thats a lot of retirements considering there are only 5100 pilots now.

Retirements
Year / East / West / Cumulative
2007 / 228 / 43 / 271
2008 / 177 / 46 / 494
2009 / 232 / 47 / 773
2010 / 194 / 52 / 1019
2011 / 246 / 44 / 1309
2012 / 267 / 65 / 1641
2013 / 283 / 51 / 1975
2014 / 289 / 77 / 2341
2015 / 289 / 69 / 2699
2016 / 292 / 68 / 3059
2017 / 255 / 66 / 3380
2018 / 261 / 85 / 3726
2019 / 209 / 78 / 4013
2020 / 222 / 88 / 4323
2021 / 168 / 90 / 4581
2022 / 165 / 94 / 4840
2023 / 148 / 77 / 5065
2024 / 118 / 92 / 5275

Do you have the numbers beyond 2027?

I'm sure I missed out on some good times, but I've had a much better time accruing seniority at my major that I would have wasted by going to collage.

Collage? hahahahahahahahahahaha.

It's the law get over it.

It's called punctuation. Learn to use it.

Thanks, and actually there are 5275 pilots at US. Not that much of a difference I know, but just trying to keep the facts straight.

anything that costs you hundreds of thousands of dollars or around 3 years of your life is hard to get over.

LOL twice. Good call. Not to mention many on the street now partially due to it.

......How do your guys loads look like two Germany from IAH or EWR in August? I'm going to visit friends and figured I'd ride fore free.

How's you mom going to come with if you ride for free?

 

[Dan Roman]

Yeah, and how well did your f-d up generation handle it? I took the time to read Flying the Line. Threats, intimidation, vandalism, unsafe behavior at the controls? Suicides even? I think you're the one leaving out the details. Apart from FI.com, this generation of marginalized pilots has handled adversity far better than yours did.

The Prussian pointed out the reality of the times that effected everyone, you simply cherry picked isolated incidents to try and make your point.
Every generation makes mistakes. Every generation makes improvements over the previous generation. They have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight.
You can find good or bad out of any generation. You seem really wrapped around the axel with needing to point fingers and blame. The reality is, of all the "younger" pilots I know, very few are as upset about age 65 as you appear to be. Most are very pragmatic about it and don't let it eat them up inside like you seem to be doing.
We all chose aviation as career, more than most careers, adversity happens, it's all about how you handle it. Getting emotional and flipping out over something you don't like simply means you are prone to being a weak link.

You can't be a student of this industry/profession and not be critical of your generation. Period. There is no way you can disagree with that. I spend a considerable amount of my own time and money trying to help my fellow pilots. Regardless of age and seniority. Your generation is a bottomless pit. You've gleaned the field and contributed nearly nothing. Why don't you go find a few pilots from the generation that preceeded yours and ask them, since you are skeptical of my generation, what they might think of you and yours? Do you even have to wonder? Because I don't.

Prussian mouthed off and he was totally off base. You are too. This profession is going to get fixed. But it won't be a baby boomer that does it. My generation will leave it better than we got it.
