As for me, I actually fell back 2 spots over the last 3 weeks and have only moved up 32 spots since May. That's 32/4=8 per month. So that means that most of our attrition is on the FO side.
In other words, attrition is not holding steady, it is decreasing and probably fluctuating between 10-15 per month with some dipping below 10.
As for the CR7's, that's not going to be enough to start running RJ classes. Plus when they do the classes will be full of transitioning EMB FO's with any new hire classes being EMB. My prediction is that there won't be a new hire RJ class until 2Q of 09.
Good Luck.
The 20 number just came from the email but I understand how it may be off. Also sounded like they had some bids in for additional flying but who really knows. Didn't really want to move across the country but just may be worth it if I can start 6 months sooner. Thanks for the info though.
