Probably going to drop by a few years shortly before flattening out until the 2011 hires cycle through upgrade

200ish flows this year is around 20% of our CAs looking to move on. Not an insignificant number especially since another 40ish have made moves to greener pastures so far this year

-Pay is a joke with no improvements in sight.
It's likely CAs will only see their 1% raises on the back end of the contract. Your 18 year pay step will remain stagnant. The only way for you to increase your pay would be via AA. FO pay will continue to improve and be supplemented by bonuses

-Culture and morale is punitive and toxic.
-QOL/contractual violations/reserve are horrible.
-Schedules are terrible and inefficient.
Need fewer regional partners to distribute block hours to. I agree they won't be anymore efficient until that happens.

FOs continue to head for the door as the company does nothing to make it worth hanging around until "flow."
Nothing wrong with FOs moving to greener pastures for LCCs, majors or street CA spots. Creates an incentive to increase compensation to retain them
