What to yuo mean? Whats wrong with my smelling? And as for your spelling of "competetive" - a grime against humanity. Boom! Boom!

Firstly, and as Hobo implies, airlines don't tend to discuss their pilot retirement numbers, so it's difficult to get the information in the first place.
I assumed that one just needed to look at the table on the CAA site, the one that shows types of licenses by age and extrapolate with some guestimate adjustment the numbers into the "large", "medium" or "small" category. One has to make the best of the incomplete information on offer. And you cannot be suggesting that numbers out has no effect on numbers in. But then again it is not worth getting into a row about.

On the other hand, when you have a few thousand jet hours and a couple of useful types under your belt, the detective work could well pay off.
Very smug today aren't we?
