Just Curious.
From what i've heard from the Director of training, the attrition is still fairly high..with 24 confirmed new hires a month in oct, nov..and possibly more in december...hiring should continue at that pace through june.
That's just what's being told to our class..so who knows where that's gonna lead.
He also said that comair's loosing 10 airframes due to time limitations in the next 18 months..are they doing anything to replace these 50's..or are they just gonnd use the 14 or so 900's they got and restructure their routes a bit?
I did hear the routes for the 900 to JFK, Denver etcetc from CVG.
