Rumor on the street that Pria request have spiked considerably. 3000 hour TT pilots getting interview calls from 2 to 3 different airlines. How many more will they see if pilots know it will be 3 to 5 years for a new contract. Almost every pilot on the seniority list could replace their income at the big 4 in that time. 7000 new hires needed this year how many of our young pilots going to stick around to see if the company will value them in 2 to 4 years from now. I know a few that took the wait and see approach last time and got stuck here when it slowed. They have stuff out to several places few have CJO's already. Heard of several pilots having interviews coming up at SWA. Attrition maybe slower now but its just starting to pick up, could be crazy by summer.
