The two senior FOs who left for Frontier, one went as their new Director of Training (a good move for him). The other I don’t know what position he obtained at Frontier, but he is also a super smart guy who has taught sims before. Maybe he went as a line pilot or maybe as something in training. Not sure. But these two departures are unique based on their backgrounds.

Bronze = top guys getting the house in order before they sell the joint and cash out. AS needs to grow, or eventually get acquired (growth could hypothetically consist of them acquiring someone else, but no point in that if you're just going to downsize what you acquire).

27 resigned in 2018.
39 resigned last year.
8 have left this year, to date.
More will follow soon.
I'm aware of no CA's that have left. At best someone may have held a CA bid, or certainly could have held one, but no ACTUAL CA has resigned.

One captain took a down graded to to FO due to the terrible QOL, still didn’t enjoy his senior position as an Fo at Alaska, he is now at United. The senior FO that just left is now a $58 an hour FO at frontier, nothing more.
Most “legacy” airlines don’t see people flowing out to second tier airlines, that just doesn’t happen. When it happens here maybe people should put down the pipe and ask themselves why. Is it really that good here?
