I think that's pretty good but it will take nearly four straight months of that to effect the month you flow if you are past your first 3 years.
It remains to be seen if this will be sustained though. I have to wonder if the AIP fiasco over the summer caused a lot of lazy pilots to update their apps triggering interviews in the fall.
I think we will see a lot more attrition in the sub-1000 seniority list. They have been here for 2.5-3 years and are now starting to be competitive elsewhere.
I ran some rough numbers, and the most attrition seems to happen between 500 and 1200.
