Probably because our attrition was not 25%. In fact, we grew the pilot ranks by 20% from the beginning of 2017 through today from 1500 to 1800 (round numbers).
400 hired? We didn't have 25% attrition there either. 100 left but not entirely from these 400 bodies. We had people leave that were hired in previous years so they aren't in that 400.
With 1800 on property and 100 leaving that is a YTD attrition of 5.3%. Not a good APC Thread Title but facts nonetheless. 25% attrition would be closer to 475 having left which would have shut the airline down.
