Easy there chicken little, the numbers aren’t so big yet.

Last email we lost 90 year to date. Some of those are actual retirements, some were medical, and yes, most were going on to other airlines. In fact a sizable number came here after being put into a pool by Delta.

Still 90/2800 is a little over 3% which is not bad at all for turnover at a large company. We are still growing, and still adding pilots to the total, while they announced slowed upgrade number, there are still upgrades and new hire classes full for months.

We start getting over 10% turnover and cancelled new hire classes because no one showed up, then call me and I’ll run around with you talking about the sky falling.
