we are currently having about 30 pilots a month leave so theoretically attrition should take care of it in about 2 months.
If the numbers by CRJDRIVER are correct, then attrition at 10 crews per plane would take us to just over 1,000 pilots. I'm guessing we have just over 1,400 pilots now so I think we may be in for a 6+ month freeze. Which for all of us at the bottom of the list adds another 1/2 year to our reserve life.
