Based off of old flow plans and vacancy bids:
Nov 2011, start of bankruptcy ~3000 pilots
December 2013, end of bankruptcy ~2700 pilots
Spring of 2016, point of smallest pilot group ~1800
The fleet size is usually 11 pilots per airplane give or take a bit. Keep in mind that we're still down 2 domiciles since the start of bankruptcy. San Juan is probably never coming back but I heard from the former college roommate of a dentist who's patient is the sister of a united ramper in LAX that we're totally getting that base back.
