2) approximately 450 have been hired since last October. I'm not sure how many of those since Jan 1. Beginning next class, starting October 13, class sizes will be increased to 40. Classes run every 2 weeks and this is expected to run for 15 months.
3) 113 have left since last October.
4) currently upgrading 22 per month but this is expected to increase soon
5) an FO hired Oct 2013 is scheduled to upgrade in Dec. Upgrade times for the new guys should be dropping to 13 months soon, assuming they have the 1,000 hours required for 121 PIC per 121.436(a)(3).
