We have roughly 20 boeing retirements and 5 airbus retirements along with an estimated 20-30 resignations for 2019. 1-2% growth in asm some of which will be returning smaller airplanes and getting larger ones. Several times this year leadership has inferred that they see a stable head count as in hiring for attrition only. They do not hire in advance of attrition so retirements and resignations occur first then a reduction bid and then a seat and domicile bid to replace them. The pilot group as a whole as well as the chief pilots and the pilot recruiters are the very last to know what the forecast for hiring is. The three remaining classes for 2018 are roughly 50% Horizon pilots and the remainder are friends and family who have already interviewed. If you are in one of those 2 groups expect to hear something soon if you are not.....
