And they plan to have a pilot group of about 1400 to 1500 active pilots and a fleet of around 140 to 150 airframes. Guy in the PSA thread said he is going about 15 to 20 slots up in seniority every month so there is attrition off the top and out of the middle too. You know, mathematical facts and all...
Right, so 1400-1500 pilots means PSA will need 700-750 captains, the amount of pilots you already have on property. All growth captains aka "quick upgrades" have already been hired. Any upgrades after that will be due to attrition only.
Anyone hired today will undoubtedly see a lot of movement and a quick rise to senior FO, but not a quick upgrade.
