Does anyone know the current count of regional pilots and the average ratios of military to civilian pilot breakdown in new hire classes?
It won't be more than a few years before the demand for pilots at career airlines will drain the supply of regional and military pilots.

They clearly contribute to the decisions. Remember Prater and age 65? Completely went against the wishes of the majority of ALPA members. If you are going to compliment ALPA for the good things they do, please criticize them for their failings. The age 65 rule, along with scope issues, caving on the gutting of pensions, etc. are among those failings.

As a younger guy that started my first flying job under a year ago, these retirement numbers make me cautiously very optimistic. I set my goal to be in the ball park of competitive hiring mins for the majors within 5 years of starting said first flying job.
Keeping my fingers crossed that the next 9/11 or other economic disaster doesn't cripple the airline industry again.

Single pilot airliners are the next big threat, who knows when those things will be online. There needs to be an all new ATC system first, and you know how fast .gov operates....so you are pretty safe.
