Crews,

Based on a 2010 sampling of retirements at CX, between now and End of 2019, CX will retire 224 pilots if everyone goes to 65. Slightly under 9% of the entire pilot group.

By comparison, Delta(and many of the US legacies) will lose 3005, slightly over 25% in that same time span.

Cathay will lose 50% of its current pilots by roughly 2033. DAL will lose 50% by 2024.

The lists in the US may seem large enough to intimidate but its all about percentages boys and the numbers don't lie.
