Look at the feet. When was the last time we ended up with more pilots in December than we started with in January. All while "winning" all these scope agreements.
According to the bid monitor report the number of pilots required at our airline went from 9081 with 10,579 pilots in category (16.5% above required) in January 2013 to 9933, with 10,542 pilots in category (6.1% above required). That's an increase of 852 pilots required in 9 months. With 300 new hires arriving, starting in November, this may be the year.
When was the last time you saw a need for an increase of pilots required of nearly 100/month?
