Not anymore. Most of the 9E pilots who are planning to move on have apps out everywhere. Our attrition is back up to about 30 per month from a pilot group of around 2000. That's about the same proportion as 75 per month from the 5000 at OO. Currently, only a small percentage of our attrition is related to Delta.
We do have a substantial amount of lifers at 9E who aren't going anywhere. That's a different issue, obviously, but you'll find that at any regional that has been around for a while.
