Mostly just trying to see if it is a big enough group that has left to start making Spirit change their furlough / downgrade plans significantly? Figure if 100 folks have left in January (which seems total possible with the AA and UA class numbers I have heard) does that make Spirit realize they can't afford to downgrade and furlough as soon enough they could actually be short pilots?
Any inside actual info on the size of the seniority list from say last Fall to now would be interesting to hear rather than just "everybody is leaving"
ALPA absolutely has access to the data. They had been emailing attrition numbers during negotiations quarterly but I don't know if they still are. The furlough and downgrade numbers have an attrition figure assumed into them but I don't know if that figure has been met or exceeded yet.
