My gut feel is there is some E175 flying that they know about and haven't announced. Had our joke of a pay package passed, I am sure they would've announced it the next day. We are just doing a ton of training for that plan. It could also be that we are doing a ton of training because we are losing so many pilots on that plane. Seems like people take that plane to get a training event. Some don't even make it out of training before they are hired somewhere from what I have heard.
You mean on the E175, guys just bailing with type rating?

I have heard all regionals are losing a lot if new hires through failure rates, not disclosing information and just bailing for something better.

That's not even counting the normal attrition rate of line pilots moving to green pastures or retiring. At this point you would think they would do anything in their power to keep their pilots happy now.
