I think it is somewhat foolish to think that pilots will actually be retiring at 65.
The truth is most of retirements will take place at 62-63.
As soon as the market starts recovering and mutual funds climbing, I think, we will see people calling it done.
The other side of the medal is medicals. Before age 65 change 20% of pilots ages 57-60 were losing medicals.

How many people were suppose to retire from 2001-2006? How many people did the major airlines hire during that period?
How many people were suppose to retire from 2008-2012? How many people are major airlines hiring during this period?
There is an obvious trend here.
I personally don't think these numbers tell you anything.

I suspect major airline hiring will go pretty young and inexperienced again. This is because the senior guys at regionals make too much money to make the move. Here at mesaba, our top wage earners have made over $120K the top is almost $150K. These guys are in their forties and fifties and are staying put.

Get the time, but network like crazy. Timing is everything. I did not network enough in the late 90's and it cost me a job at DAL for many years.
