US Legacy Age 65 Retirements

[bafanguy]

Haven't seen any recent discussion of the subject and thought someone might be interested so I'll throw this out:

This is a unique time in US legacy airline history re pilot demand/supply. The legacies are losing VERY large percentages of their pilots to age 65 over the next 15+/- years. This continues beyond 2028 with annually decreasing numbers but the curve seems to peak about the end of 2028 +/-

Here's the legacy American Airlines data(not including merged USAir data which would only make it more dramatic I think).

And, by the way, Delta is losing 68% of the list between 2013 and 2028 due only to age 65. And almost NOBODY leaves a US legacy voluntarily but there will be medical dropouts to alter the year-by-year numbers by a smallish amount. I haven't seen any data from the merged UAL/CAL list but would like to see it:
