There just hasn't been enough time for the day trip idea to be digested by all the pilots yet. One of my best friends put his app in to AA in October, had a November interview, and now has a February class date. Another buddy is approximately the same time line, but to UA. For some of my other friends and acquaintances, it took the rapid opening of the 3 C bases to realize they aren't joking about the day trips, like they were before. Two of them just got CJOs recently. Lastly, someone in my new hire class, who I never thought would leave, is now filling out apps because of the last memo from BL about switching to day trips. It was his straw for the camel, I guess he didn't believe everything else leading up to that memo, ha.

It takes time for people to get their logbook and apps together, wait for a reply, schedule an interview, and get a CJO.

I know it's all anecdotal, but from the people I know, I've never seen a desire to get out be so high. I would be floored if in 8 to 12 months we look back and don't say, wow a lot of people left in March - October.
