It is true there is alot of attrition here right now. Last month 30 pilots left. We have been averaging about that many for at least 6 months. Last months breakdown was 10 CA and 20 FO.
We are scheduled for 3 new hire classes in October after only having 1 in August and 2 in September.
Pilot Vacancy bid closes today with 34 captain upgrades. (Company memo says expect 60 more upgrades in first quarter of 08.)
Havent heard anything about new hiring mins.
