My question is, how does Endeavor plan to train all of the pilots needed to take over Express Jet, Compass, GoJet (maybe eventually SkyWest, etc) flying? Seems like they'd have to train a couple hundred pilots per month! I think that the Crj-200s will soon be gone, but still, even with just the 700s and 900s that's a lot of pilots to train.
Between hiring and attrition, Endeavor has been at around +20 month on month. We've had numerous classes of 30 this summer, and they run every two weeks. Limit is training capacity, and another sim is being brought online now.
