Was this a fluke?
You need to look at the upper half of the list to judge attrition. What you are seeing are people that didn't show for training, quit during training, washed out or didn't like it after getting to the line.
Go look at #400 for example on the 9-24 list. That same individual was #407 in August and 409 at the beginning of July. That averages about 5 per month in round numbers. Movement in the captains ranks is what provides upgrade opportunities downstream.
