Default Even more qualified pilots on the street...

500 more qualified pilots are soon to be furloughed from NetJets. There has to be somewhere around 5000 pilots collectively on the street that all have thousands of hours of experience. I dont care what anyone says about a pilot shortage.... no one is going anywhere soon. Get comfy where you are and if you are flight instructing or building piston time this is the time to re-evaluate your career.

Lightbulb My Point Is This....

Be patient....No one can stop Age 65.

This does not include about 6-7 other large major carriers, which is thousands upon thousands of more pilots not added to my list for retirement. If i had to guess I would say double the numbers listed for retirement.

If anybody has the retirement numbers for other large major carriers, Ill be happy to add them and run the numbers.

Interesting food for thought. Thanks for posting that. Can I ask where you got the retirement numbers?

Where'd you get the retirement data? Just curious, because I've been wondering where I can get reliable retirement figures...

Based on your numbers, then sometime in 2019, all the furloughs will have replaced the retirees.

If you double the numbers, then we're still sometime in 2014. It is my opinion, nothing more, that a handful of carriers still have yet to go out of business or severely downsize in the next few years. They have to. The only way to raise prices across the board is to drop supply. Raising prices is the only way to regain some professional dignity in this profession.

I think the original poster's advice is sound, no material movement is going to happen for at least 3-4 years. This is what we've all been saying for over a year now anyway.

The combined delta/nwa seniority list will lose more than 600 pilots in 2012 when they turn 65, and it goes up exponetially from there. And thats from a guy in the top 20 that flies the 400 in dtw. like others said hang in there, dont give up. The movement may not come as fast as we want, but it is coming.
