Never was a true pilot shortage at QX except for the one it created last year. All of the hiring this year was to catch up to the levels it should have been last year. There isn't any true growth in terms of net fleet expansion. The company keeps stating "The E175 fleet is expanding/growing...." yes, but the Q is shrinking. Technically, I think we will be 1 or 2 less airplanes at the end of 2018. Attrition has been around 10-20 pilots per month, but closer to the low end. Still a fairly senior company with senior FOs holding out on upgrade. Your mileage may vary.
