How many F/Os leave per month? How about captains, how many of those guys leave / month?
And lastly, what kind of new hire pilot hiring have you seen at PNCL? Is it true they are running 2 classes per month of 30 pilots each (60 pilots per month)?
Thanks!
We lose about 1 pilot a day, bit more CA side than FO. Too many cancelled flight this month just because no CA to staff. Reserve CA expect to fly 90+ block each month, lineholder expect to be extended, JM, re-assigned... you name it.
NWA stuffed those 15 parked CRJ in a matter of weeks, and expect us to staff it, and therefore all these numbers, compounded with stalled negotiations, people are just so fed up that they'd take any offer that comes along. Latest news is that mgmt finally willing to talk to us, and hopefully it'll speed things up, maybe even get a contract by the turn of this decade.
