FWIW.
According to APC numbers for the other carriers, we have 3.5x the pilots of Kalitta, 5x that of ATI, and 12x that of ABX. The only integrated seniority list I've seen shows us with 2400+ pilots and that list stopped at the end of August, 2020. So those are lowball numbers.
We continue to hire with classes every 3 weeks, albeit maybe slightly smaller classes and none on the 737, so I don't think the company is that worried about how many people they're losing. The only people worried are the pilots here trying to put pressure on management to prove we need a better contract.
So I don't recall the numbers that were put up on GC but I think it's all relative.
