Tough call, we still have A LOT of attrition going on. I don't think I can tell what it will be. According to union reps, we don't staff on crews per airplane like most everybody else. They supposedly go on some complex alogorithmic formula taking into account historical sick calls, vacation, and blah blah blah. But is sure is some coincidence that is stiil works out to be about 5 crews or 10 pilots per airframe. Plus the usual 10% or so for managment and instructors.

One thing is for sure. As of yet, no new additional aircraft coming. Maybe in the future, but nothing yet. That slows upgrade and movement. But like I said, still a lot of attrition. Our last senority list has 2780 pilots, the most junior guy holding CA being about number 1950. Being on property about 22 months. This is on paper, by the time he goes to training and finshes OE and starts logging PIC time and a pay raise could be more like 27 months on property. BEAR IN MIND, THIS IS PRELIMINARY INFORMATION ONLY. IT IS NOT SET IN STONE YET. IT'S A SNAPSHOT OF THE BID AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW AND HASN'T CLOSED YET. SO EVERYBODY, CALM DOWN.
