Well what is true? At one of the company roadshows that is exactly what they stated. I mean apply a little common sense and think about it. One of the old rules of thumb was always half the pilots would not make it to age 60. A few fired, a bunch medicaled out and others leaving early. So at 60 you are down to half gone. From 60 to 62 the company has seen a high attrition rate on top of the pre 60 losses. The strange part and what I don’t understand is from 63 to 65 the attrition rate was very low which is not what I expected. All of this is pre MOAD which should have reduced that 2.4 years even more and was a huge seniority boost for the bottom half of the list.
You solved your own riddle - if that many Pilots did not make it until 60 the average age pre-rule change was probably about 57-58 and now it is around 62 1/2. I think you were comparing 62 1/2 to 60 not 62 1/2 to 58 or 57.

So in that case you are saying every pilot who makes it to 60 continues to 65?

A table citing the age/number of Delta pilots retiring after 2007 (Age 65 rule change date?) would be interesting.
As would the decade prior to 2007 when the age 60 rule was in effect.
"Voluntary" vs "Medical reasons" would also be nice. If for no other reason to give realistic longevity expectations for pilots retirement planning.
Is this data even compiled?
