This could be messier for a great deal of pilots than it would initially seem.
3,369 on the most recent seniority list posted early in January including furloughs. Of course...the attrition rate is high, so that number is decreasing by the day. Historically, we have maintained a fairly high pilot-to-A/C ratio of around 8-8.5 crews per A/C.
