YTD total was almost exactly what I quoted
649 hired
296 quit + 54 training/other
299 net gain
We’ve basically sent a hundred pilots to each of the big 3 and a smattering to other companies per the breakdown.
So is Spirit deliberately over-hiring right now with the knowledge they are going to lose half of their new FOs to the legacies?
