Are the mandatory retirements on Alaska's main APC page correct? I was running a rough calculation of seniority movement based on that versus current pilot group size and it looks like it will take almost 20 years to make it to 50% seniority. That's astronomically higher than everywhere else. I know there's a lot of variables, but surely those numbers need to be updated? The only thing that would change that is if you guys have very high attrition of relatively senior pilots.

AS retirement numbers are relatively small for the current decade and will pick up to somewhere in the ~90-130/year range beginning in 2029. That looks to be when someone would see movement not related to growth. In the mean time I imagine the replacement of the Airbus fleet with 737s will slow things down for pilot progression.
What else will happen to the industry between now and then?

I took it from the Feb list, so I don’t think so. Nice to get 135 out on Oct 01, and the flip side means those numbers will actually look even smaller to a potential new hire pilot.
