Outside attrition should increase to at least 25 a month fairly soon, provided that you have a motivated pilot group that wants to go elsewhere.
Are you even able to hire 30 a month now?
That's not what the numbers are based on. 30 for the remainder of 824. 25 for protected. 15 for bankruptcy kids. And the variable # for post signing. Current pilot group size would be 14.
Everyone knows management has work cut out for them that is no secret. How they address it is so far. Last month I believe was 22 so there is work to be done you are right on that. I'm optimistic they take the correct actions in increasing their new hires. Getting rid of longer longevity pilots helps them too so it pays off in the end to increase recruiting.
