For the past 3 months we've been losing around 12 per month which a reduced amount from the 18 we were averaging since I came here. I'm expecting that to decrease down to around 6-8 due to the condition of the industry.

I'd also expect attrition to decrease at everyone including those bottom feeders like Mesa. I hate to say it but the reduction is only going to hurt their fight against Orenstein. He’ll see the reduced attrition rate and think that his pilots are either happier or trapped and he’ll use that to his advantage, sadly that’s the kind of guy he is. Best of luck to all Mesa pilots! Times are getting bad and they’re going to be harder for you guys than the rest of us.

JMO plus 2 cents.
