Hopefully next month will continue the trend of rising numbers of departures.
I don’t know a solid number, but I suspect ~3 left on the training departments term too. Nothing against low time CFI’s, as I was one too. But, the program isn’t tailored to that group like the regionals are. I suspect the training attrition might rise too.
