There’s a small core group of lifers left who live in base or enjoy being on the road. The rest is a coming and going of new people. Nobody stays long enough for me to remember their names.

It’s still a great gig if you can afford to work here and are not in a hurry to move up the career ladder.
Attrition has gone down since the previous CEO/DO left. Only hiring for 2 Caravan pilots currently, and the company has removed all of its ATR positions on the website for over a week. Definitely caught up on hiring if you look at the ATR schedule; hardly anyone is flying their PTO weeks now. I volunteered to fly all of mine and didn't get offered a single one.
