No exact numbers, but our VP of planning (JB, insanely smart guy) told me 2 weeks ago that attrition was "a real problem" and we are losing "5% of FO's and 3-4% of captains" per year.
And just to add some fuel to the fire (pure speculation mostly)... I've been told that once you get an airbus type, it's pretty easy to get a call from Spirit, Frontier, JetBlue, etc... not that that's what most guys are looking for, but at least it's not bad news!

Any insight into how much hiring is going on over the next few months? Looking back at the thread, I've seen everywhere from "40 a month for the foreseeable future" (which sounds high) and only 50 more for the year (which doesn't jive with the 10% attrition). Are there set class dates that anyone can shed some light on?
Thank you
Thank you
