Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Its on the Crew Resources webpage. Right hand column.
"Scheduled Retirements".

Thanks for the outstanding Excel info.
Although 191 is not very many, I choose to look at the bright side. Every 59 year old is worth five 64 year olds.
Appears there will be a lot of movement in DTW and MSP. Good news for those bases.

Now, as we await the AE results, we have time to catch up with current events.
I was just wondering. What has Anna Kournikova been up to lately?

What I am most curious of is those barely 40 year-olds hanging around 6,000. Jealous? Yes.

Re. FTB's scatter diagram above, what's most interesting to me is the huge 'cluster' of blue dots to the left of number 6,000, in the age bracket of 55, plus or minus 3 years.
And looking to the far right, it seems we have some nearly 65 year olds at the 11,000 plus level. How did that happen? Were they hiring pilots over age 60 in the last 200 new hires? Or were they Compass flow up?

I found Dal buying the naming rights to the Midwest center peculiar. Why though? I guess we may have a bigger focus in MKE now that it's the Delta Air Lines Center.
Their Mikles now directly transfer to skymiles as well. Makes me wonder if a we buy em or SKW does and we start a domestic cs with them and reduce thenalk one. That would hurt ALK's market cap to the point they may be a buyout target. Just thinking aloud.

I hope RA is smart enough to know that we would require a sporty move like that to be an asset sale that falls far below "federal merger law".

During the (DL South) hiring boom of 1985-1991 the average age of new hire classes kept going up, about 1yr. per year, ie. in 1986, it was 29, in 1987 it was 30, in 1988, it was 31, etc. So there is a huge clump of guys in that 55 age bracket in the top 6000.
The reason for this upward newhire age creep is, Delta's propensity to hire military guys, (90%) and the military training commitments kept going up as well. When I went into the Air Guard, in 1983, it was 5 years, having just gone up from 4 years. Now the committment is what, 10 years? So the average age military pilot getting out after 10 years will be about 33-34, instead of 28-29.
Of course, if he's smart, he won't get out now. He'll stay in for 20+ years, 'retire' and then get an airline job, when the top 6000 Delta pilots all retire in the same few years, about 2020-2025.
I don't know what the NW hiring numbers and ages were at that time, 1985-1991, not sure where their big clump of same age guys is, but judging from all the blue in the 55 age bracket in the top 6000, I'd say it's about the same as the south side.
