I bet I know how Airlines figure out staffing. They look at their growth and the boss man says “we need 300 additional pilots next year”. Then another manager says, “we lost 100 last year and we anticipate that trend to continue” (they know there will be no contract and they share an evil chuckle). The boss man answers “Well let’s hire 400 then”
Call it what you want but you are wrong. That's a fact. The OP tried to claim that our attrition was '25%'. I showed that it wasn't. Another tried to prove their case with a link that further showed our attrition wasn't '25%'. Now you're trying personal insults because you don't like the numbers. That's cool too but it doesn't make you right.
Our attrition is less that 5.5%. That is a FACT. Lying to try and improve our talking points gives you less credibility.
Now, additional facts are that our training department is running at capacity. That will require either an increase in training capacity, a reduction in growth, or an increase in retention. An additional fact is that the quality of our new hires is pretty poor. We are seeing an alarming number of guys fail training from all backgrounds but there is a trend with 2000 HR regional guys failing the program. This isn't a scare tactic to try and disturb the training pipeline but if you're a relatively low time guy you need to know that your peers are struggling and failing. Maybe you're the exception but you need to know that facts and weight the risk against your own career.
