10454 / 14800 x100 = 70.6% gone. So you'd be at the 30% mark, not 12%. Still a great position to be in though!

Face to face started last week, 2 day interview process. Rumor is usair already started packing up their phx headquarters and shifting to DFW... no clue on who would take the lead on hiring. In the meantime both airlines hiring is a good thing in that it doesn't negatively pit one airline against another in terms of positioning for the merger

15 years from 2014-2028 AA retires 6,946 pilots. In that same 15 years US Airways retires 3,508. Total retired at both in 15 years is 10,454. Currently there are 14,800 pilots at both airlines.

So maybe they grow another 2,000 pilots or so and people retire at 60ish, maybe we'd be looking at around top 20%?

In 15 years, I'd put money on the list being 20% smaller, not 20% bigger.
Maybe not if they manage to get this outsourcing RJ fiasco under control... but everyone knows thats not gonna happen. Maybe all the narrowbodies for the whole airline will be flown by outsourced pilots by then.

If air traffic is supposed to double in the next decade or 2, won't they be forced to grow? Unless they decide to put wide bodies on everything, Emirates-style
FAA forecast from FY12
This year’s forecast predicts that the industry will grow from 731 million passengers in 2011 to 1.2 billion in 2032.
Cumulatively, air traffic growth for U.S. carriers–measured by revenue passenger miles–is expected to rise by more than 90 percent in the next 20 years. It grew by 3.5 percent in 2011. Airport tower operations are expected to increase by 23 percent. Also, the number of aircraft handled at FAA en-route centers, which separate high altitude traffic, is expected to increase by 50 percent.

9900 on AA's list. 8000 on property. On property currently 414 under 45. Company provides the next 20 yrs retirements.
To get to the top 15% of the AA list (8000) is 2032. Using 9900 it's 2031.
Assumes everyone stays to 65.

Nice to hear being one of those gone in ten, but there's plenty of talk about a 65 plus some retirement now. Whether it be 67 or 70 
but at some point we'll either be retired or dead, hopefully in that order!
