We were losing 20 a month to attrition BEFORE this happened and have lots of guys who could have gone but we’re building time toward their dream job. Unless there really is a great new opportunity, that loss will accelerate. Regionals out there are offering DEC jobs to anyone with 950 hours and near-DEC jobs to people with substantially less than that. With impressive bonuses.

Heck, anyone with a consolidated type rating is a hot commodity right now, and will have no problem getting a job (and a signing bonus and a second bonus for being type rated) a half dozen other places.

If management doesn’t come through with that “opportunity”, I can picture the workforce evaporating from here so fast they’ll struggle to complete Delta flying. I can’t imagine furloughs being an issue.
