I haven't heard of anyone going to United or Delta from Envoy since January. I know a pilot who went to the last Southwest class in March. Attrition has almost completely stopped. I don't know what they're looking for right now but they have raised the bar dramatically. They are probably hiring Spirit captains. We do have 10 pilots retiring this year and 33 in 2025. We used to be able to view an ALPA seniority list that showed the pilots who had recently resigned, but the Pilot Dashboard and Pilot Status list that replaced it doesn't have that feature. My seniority number has barely changed in 6 months.
I flew with an FO recently who said he reached 950 121 hours in about a year and a half on the line by aggressively picking up overtime.
