Remember also that the last large group of pilots to be hired that didn't get furloughed was 1987. Closing down one hub will take care of a lot of those retirements.
 
I went to a Kit Darby seminar a few years back. He had the Intel on every airline. The U.S. Airways group will experience the highest percentage of attrition of any airline in the first 5 years of attrition. I don’t have the numbers but I intend to scan that thing and put the numbers up here for everyone. The U.S. Airways group was the oldest and the America West group was the 3rd youngest. They combined to make the oldest.
 
I think you mean most "distinguished" or were it "experienced?"
 
I posted this in the other thread too....

Since no one can do a search. Here ya go. Close as you will probably find. Add 5 to the years to adjust for age 65 retirement. Also, obviously in the earlier years, some of those numbers may be lower as some guys have already left or medical out.

Airways retirement numbers, East and West pilot groups. Of those that were active 3/1/06:

Yr. East West

08 143 46

09 185 47

10 163 52

11 191 44

14 231 71

15 206 69

16 185 68

17 159 66

18 162 85

19 112 78

20 113 88

21 73 90

22 57 94

23 18 77

24 10 92

25 1 94


Year 2025 equals 100% of US East pilots retired that were active on the seniority list as of 3/1/2006. After 2025 there are still 25% of the West list remaining, or about 500 pilots with the last one retireing in 2039.

Of the recent recalls to the east side, There will be a smattering increase of retirement numbers through the years. If everyone had accepted recall, the youngest pilot on the seniority list would have retired in 2035. Still 4 years before the youngest America West guy. Kinda of hard to pull the numbers out, but looking at the East retirements, including those on furloughed, the numbers look like this.

Here's what I came up with when using a 2009 seniority list a few years ago. I've tried different ways to paste it but most look poorly formatted. Sorry
