FO attrition is really picking up. I counted 24 total pilots leaving on the latest list (mostly FOs). The company has to increase first year pay and offer better work rules for everyone if they want to retain FOs. $24/hr first year pay is not going to cut it. I better min day/rig, 100% deadhead and better premium pay would only bring us up to the average. Junior FOs know the SSP means nothing to anyone below #450 on the list. I've flown with a large number of junior FOs recently that are talking about a lateral move. Some want to leave for Piedmont, others skywest and Compass, etc.
