XJT-'East' has what, 2,000 pilots that are slowly being bled out? My last few times up front on PSA the FO's were all former XJT. I would expect as they retire more aircraft guys will continue to jump ship. So far AA has been pretty effective at convincing those guys to jump over to their WO'd carriers. I'm sure Republic is next and that's why they wanted the high first year pay.
