When we were hot and heavy about merging the first time around, I saw some projections at a union meeting for retirements at both airlines. If I'm not mistaken, if you plotted our retirements by year on a X-Y type axis, they looked like two sine waves almost 180 degrees out of phase, meaning our higher retirement years would offset your lower retirement years and vice versa.
Alot of the reason it looks like a sine wave is because the size of each airline...basically, by 2031...UAL retires 7008 pilots and CAL will retire 3377 or so...less retirements by CAL but UAL will retire everyone.
That does not take into consideration early outs or medicals.....Unless someone creates a non-aging pill....there will be great opportunities in the future...
