Nearly two thirds of that number left for greener pastures.

The seniority list now has 1486 pilots.

This year alone they have hired 119 and lost about 100.

You may want to consider why this is happening.
Global warming? The Russians? Nope. Just lack of a good contract and an dearth of leadership in high places.
