Actually attrition helps new hires get off reserve faster. The only case where it wouldn’t is if all the people leaving are junior to you, which for a new hire isn’t the case.

It’s slowing senior first officers from making captain currently, which is another issue, but the overwhelming majority of pilots leaving are FOs, and most of them have been here more than a year.

Now the displacement bid will have an impact of time to line in certain bases, but that means attrition will only help a new hire reserve pilot to get to a line faster.

Attrition is not a good thing long term, but before you espouse to a newbie that it will adversely affect their time to a line, at least know what the hell you’re talking about…
