So, 99% of our ANC base lives in AK. 92% of our PDX base lives in the PNW, and 90% of the SEA base lives in the PNW. But I realize that’s only like 75% of our pilot group. That leaves 58% of our LAX group live CA or the DSW… That leaves about 30% of SFO that lives in CA.
Add all that up and please explain the mass exodus. That’s roughly 2700 pilots that live in base or within a 1.5 hour flight. I mean people are leaving but like a trickle because of bases. Most, let’s call it what it is, all are leaving for what they believe to be a better career. East coast, Rocky Mountains, mass exodus back east… well that’s just not true!
