Unless you guys keep growing it seems progression is going to be very slow. How long for a new hire to make it to 320 Capt?

With zero and without negative growth, optimistically about 20 years.

If the company remains healthy there should be nominal growth to ease up on those numbers.

Where did you come up with those numbers? People are using these numbers as fact. Not cool if you are just making it up.

Not sure where they came from, so there could be mistakes. Take it with a grain of salt but I see no reason why someone would create fake retirement numbers

I don't think that it will be as bad as "just add 5." For example, guys will still be forced to retire for medical reasons, and the likelihood of someone having to retire medically in any given year will increase as one gets older. Further, I bet many guys will consider retiring when they hit the minimum social security retirement age of 62. That 2 year delay will help them with their monthly PBGC benefit as well if they have one coming to them. And of course, there will be some guys who just won't work that long, period.

I'm not trying to paint a rosy picture for hiring when this age 65 deal kicks in because the hiring situation will worsen I'm sure. And I also assume that any hope of a "pilot shortage" and wages coming up in response to that smaller supply will probably be dashed for a few years. But I bet age 65 slows hiring down for closer to 2-3 years vs. 5 years.

The way we were.

I remember asking 59 year olds if the law was changed if they would go to 65.

"No chance. I'm already sick of the job. Five more years sounds awful."

File that one next to "it's not about the money for me".

Exactly! My favorite legacy quote "All I need is 2 years to get back what those rotten b@stards stole from me and then I'm outta here!"
