It would be nice if there was some way to input your birthdate and determine how many of these potential retirements were senior to you.
I fly with a lot of guys who are junior to me and a lot older. So, many retirements aren't really going to help me. After all, it's all about me

Try this website, one of the Delta pilots put it together. It's free and he updates it monthly. https://www.ezopenboard.com/delta/

Prove that. That is the crux of many a discussion on here. I have NEVER seen anything that says that we make fleeting decisions. I will buy you a steak dinner if you can show me where a Delta pilot ever made any deal with either Boeing or Airbus... We have never even had input as to what airplanes the company will buy. Your 717 reference is a fail because you know exactly what I am talking about, and that doesn't even come close to it.

Your numbers are a bit off. We have somewhere around 138 757's actually flying today. That leaves about 63 airframes to be parked. They will be parked over the next 3 years not 18 months. 9 to 12 domestic 767's will also be parked. During that at period we will take delivery of roughly 200 airframes. If we don't have a economic meltdown there will be very few displacements. If we were parking them in the next 18 months there would be no hiring going on.

If the DC-9 taught us anything, it's that plans can and will change. I suspect that 2014 will be a big year for Delta. We have the finances to do some interesting stuff. The Virgin Atlantic JV will pump a lot of money our way too. I'm expecting the unexpected. As I've said before, it's a mistake to extrapolate one's career based upon a single short-sighted AE award. Things are finally breaking loose seniority wise after years of stagnation. Many new Captains on the last two awards, and at least some advancement for mid-seniority FO's, whether that's getting more senior on your equipment or bidding up to bigger jets. Now, if we only had more bigger jets...

You should overlay the fleet makeup/staffing requirements with this..... It would give a great picture of where we really are and will be in terms of career earnings... I am sure the distribution curve will be very similar, and you will see that our career earnings (potential) roughly mirror the largest fleet. That is currently the 75/767. Soon will be the 737. Do the math....

Not to be all positive and stuff, but look at it this way: The 757 pays 7-9 dollars more than the 737. The 737 is slower, so there's a dollar there
. Someday- maybe starting slowly in 4 years, we will begin to replace the 7ER with either more 330's or more likely the 787 or A350==probably a combination of two out of three. Those pay 29-31 dollars per hour more than the 7ER does now. I think overall, that will be a good thing- getting rid of an underpaying airframe.
