I agree, not to mention that more than likely, the airlines will still be hiring. We aren't looking at another 9-11. Things will probably slow, but not completely hault.

The way I see it, DAL had orders for more planes. NWA has orders for planes. DAL is hiring, NWA is hiring, and is doing so, with figuring the DC-9 retirements, CAL just added to it's airplane order, AirTran has orders, SWA, etc. Not to mention, in 5 years, the retirement issue, will once again, be an issue; and will be somewhat of an issue, still, although not to the extent it could be, sans age 65.

I doubt we will see 80 pilots per month, being hired at airlines, which isn't really normal anyway, but there will still be movement.
