Do you think raising first year pay will stop people from leaving? United has less than a 2 year upgrade and new hires are getting 777/787. Most FO’s leaving have been on property over a year. Even some captains are leaving for greener pastures these days. I would say 25% of the guys I fly with have either CJO’s or interviews lined up.
Can’t blame them. Unless you like flying red eyes and 3 day 10 hour trips.
