And how much is this costing the company to waste the time spent on training when we are not getting any ROI on these pilots?

March was the first month in awhile where we lost more FO's than CA's (21 CA vs 24 FO), but so far this month we are losing 2 FO's for every CA (15 CA vs 29 FO) My estimates show about 250 hired, but it looks like we have lost a total of 170 pilots since the beginning of the year, so a net gain of around 80. Again, these are just what I have been able to gather but by no means are the 100% accurate since the company or SAPA doesn't provide these numbers consistently.
