We are losing about 15-20 pilots a month, so 2 planes worth. 2 planes a month could be parked for attrition alone. Very rough math but thats what I am led to believe.
Wow, I have been so concerned just with my base seniority that I did not even notice how many were leaving throughout the system. That does not mean the attrition will continue though. Also, if the negotiations with Delta or UAL don't go well, we will lose another 50 planes.
