I know 10 people alone that are moving on this month to other companies.
Anyhow, not interested in an inter-office ****ing match, certainly not a fan of the kool aid myself just try to deliver what I know to be good information to those interested in coming here. Could I be wrong, we all could be.
ok lets do some simple math! there are 2300 pilots on the list now. That would put the average, (hence
not most junior captain) junior captains in the 1200-1300 range! So 2300-1300=1000 pilots. lets go high on the attrition and say 30 a month! 1000 pilots divided by 30 a month equals 33.4 months! Now take 33.4 months and divide it by 12 months in a year! and bingo 2.7777777repeating years!
