So with all these major guys retiring, the regional guys will move up and there'll be a bunch of regional jobs? When should this happen?

I remember having a discussion with our VP of FltOps about 20 years ago. He was worried about a pilot shortage and said the company was looking at European style setups where they trained their own pilots. Of course it never was an issue because the pilot factories ramped up big time. Believe it or not all pilots eventually retire. I spent most of my career waiting for guys to retire, then the next thing I knew all those guys and I were retired.

Next came the end of two major airlines (Pan Am and Eastern). The market was again flooded with experienced pilots. Quote:
Then again, the way airlines are going out of business and pilots jumping jobs every 5 years, very few pilots will see the 20 year (High $$) salaries that were once abundant. | ||

But all that was more than compensated for by the big growth the industry experienced. I wasn't suggesting I spent my career as an FO. I just wanted to be more senior as a captain. (grass is always greener)

Saying "X makes more money than Y" isn't always so black and white. How much value does one put on flight benefits? Example: A pro golfer who makes $400k a year versus a university president who makes $250k. Clearly the golfer makes more, right? Except that he has to pay to get to all his tournaments, pay entry fees, hotel arrangements, etc. Meanwhile the university president is given a house, a private jet, a car, and a hotel if he ever has to stay anywhere. Clearly the university president is "better off" | |

I don't know what's worse...the fact that the salary is more for the garbage man or that the idea turned into a debate |
