Attrition rate
Basically Close, in 18.9 years EK will have half the pilot force, it does now,
with 3.7 % consistent attrition rate.
Basically, for accurate numbers, disregard forced retirements, demanded by max age restriction, loss of medical etc... Seems plenty in the pipeline for the right seat to stem 3.7 % annual flight deck trimming.
