Agreed it’s not that horrific, but extremely concerning when you consider some unique circumstances. Those circumstances are both Delta and United Metering our pilots yet attrition has not decreased.
From the numbers we can gather the majority of Captains are leaving for Southwest and American, who are both capitalizing on DAL and UAL attempting to help SkyWest attrition by holding back pilots with CJO’s. The first officers are leaving for ULCC’s in boat loads as well.
