Thanks!
Exactly...hiring anything over 30 Pilots a month is staffing for either incredible attrition, or more likely, growth. When growth slows (which it will soon), attrition will stablize in the short term at 20-40 a month (IMHO) until the Majors kick into full-swing.

From what I hear (jumpeating and such), many Pilots won't be sticking around Mainline until 65 - they've had it...don't think it will slow down Regional attrition too much.
