After 6 months of FO growth outpacing a loss of FO’s (either due to attrition or upgrades), the FO base of pilots is shrinking. Also, after an eternity of Ejet CA break even or losses, we finally may have some relief coming their way.
November hiring was extremely weak on the Ejet - only 9 new hires. I suspect our last place position in FO pay is drying up our pool of candidates.
Nope. Houston gained 1 Captain from December PBS to January PBS and lost 3 FO's. The kicker, and this should make life oh so much fun. Houston gained 1400 hours of block from December to January.
