Right now you would retire around 4500, but you would be roughly 7500 when you were 60 (assuming no age 67)

we have 16,800 pilots on the list now. Based on the last AE these are the projected seniority numbers of the most junior pilot as well as the pilot at 50% of each category

ATL 320 CA plug 13,3xx
ATL 320 CA 50% 50xx

ATL 737 CA plug 13,6xx
ATL 737 CA 50% 50xx

LAX 320 CA plug 12,0xx
LAX 320 CA 50% 6,9xx

LAX 737 CA plug 13,3xx
LAX 737 CA 50% 7,5xx

I give a card to the last passenger off the plane. A small token for their having to wait for the other 179 passengers to move along. Oh, and the kids. I offer them a card, too.

if you’re busting out the door asap worried about your 45min swap from F to T…..you’re doing it wrong.

What a witty retort. So you disregard the FOM? You seemed so sure of yourself saying your "only" responsibility is to safely get from point A to B. Every airline in the world says there are more responsibilities other than just flying safely. You just choose to ignore them....

"I" - am not. However, the rotations are contrcted that way and many are still trying to "hack the mission" as I've heard it described here. I don;t think they are "worried". I cerrtainly don't see them sticking around though. My wife and I fly on us almost exclusively, I've seen it many times on the NB. We are in C+ most times, if not first or D1 if we get it right. I applaud them too. GTFO and hit some real porcelain or stand in line for food. But by all means, waiting around to say good bye with those rotations as constructed is simply ludicrus behavior.

That is my conundrum with your logic.

They want cards handed out? Catering better put a stack on board cause I’m not going to go to CPO office to get them, or carry them around.
