Outpacing attrition by an average of 55/month is 660 additional pilots this year, bringing the total to 5360. Is there that much net growth at SkyWest?
I’m just having a hard time with the numbers. Then again, I don’t work there.
We lose about 5% of the seniority list every month at my airline. Even if SKW lost half that they’d still need to hire 110+ a month just to keep up with attrition.
