So here's an illuminating look at pilots in each base a year ago vs now.
DFW CA 178-157
DFW FO 148-111
IAD CA 90-69
IAD FO 68-49
IAH CA 213-177
IAH FO 178-170
PHX CA 97-80
PHX FO 71-59
As stated before, quite a few people in the pipeline, but we'll see how many actually translate to line pilots.
I haven’t seen a single month since the $30k bonus was put into place last May when we didn’t increase our “net” Ejet pilots. So, for at least the last 6 months, we have grown “net” Ejet pilots.
The problem is we have also grown the number of Ejets by 8 aircraft with 4 more to add. On the CA side, the planes have outpaced pilot growth. As a result, our Ejet CA’s are being beat up and because of that the Ejet CA’s are leaving for jobs they would not have otherwise.
