I said the same thing initially, and that is a concern. I have been here more 2 years and the average attrition above me has been more than 11 for that entire time. I moved up 300 spots in 2 years, and was in the upper 800s when I was hired. If you are lower on the list right now, your first 2 years will see even more movement that that.
We lost 28 last month, and I believe that I moved up 14 spots.
The average new hire in 2014 was an 8 year FO previously. Those pilots are leaving in droves right now.
