TCAS needs a little remedial maths. Approx. 110 pilots resigned last year, January to end Of December, give or take a few. That's not 2%. But is in the vicinity of 8-10 pilots walking away every month. That is not insignificant when actual age 65 retirements are far and in between. Fleet growing and pilot numbers stagnate around 3800. Does anyone here believe that any "first tier" airline has that many resignations per month? That's what the branding says we are.
