I just flew with a base chief pilot last week and that is where my info comes from. ASA is not pleased with the attrition rate and is looking at ways, such as profit sharing, to get guys to stay on board longer. But for now, the only way to stop the bleeding is to continue to hire at that rate. I noticed the senority numbers on the new guys as of last week are up in the 1,800's now. If i remember correctly, it was only in the 1,600's or so over the summer. They have to hire for both attrition and new a/c deliveries at once.
