Based on the seniority list and monthly ALPA emails with resignations, I’d say a general average is 5 CA and 5 FOs voluntarily leaving. 5 FO resignations due to training. I am basing that off their employee number that gives you a good indication of those that have been here longer vs those that may still be in training. So lossing 15 total? Gaining 20-25 per month.

2 CAs per month to UAL via CPP, maybe 3.

In two years total pilots have gone up about 100-125. From 450-475 to 575ish. So that is about a net gain of 8 per month. It was 800-850 before the mass exodus pre UAL CPA announcement. 700 - 750 is their goal. So they still need 125-175 on top of attrition.

It’s growing, very slowly, and I know they wanted 200-250 net gain after two years, but looks to be at about half that. So yes guys are moving on, from both seats, and are being replaced with “some” growth. Classes still are pretty full based on the monthly new hire dinner photos they post.

Reserve is 0-2 months in MKE/CAE. Longer in ORD and longest in IAD. Maybe 4-6 and 8-12? Few months now all 4 bases have been open to new hires. MKE and CAE each month have line holders still in training so that is why for some reserve is 0.

For the past few vacancies - 10-12 new CAs each month. Word is that will continue. Upgrade is down to like 6 months for those with the required time before coming here. For those without the time, upgrade at 1000. So 14-15 months? Note that is upgrade at CAE/MKE. ORD and IAD reserve CA is still years to hold but slowly dropping over the last 6 months.

I’m just guessing here though. I could be off on some of this. There is no great sources for a lot of this info. Others may have better info.
