Yes, United more so than the rest. American is hiring very few off the street'ers at the moment due to recalls and flows, and Delta is predominately military experience, but I know we send quite a few to United.
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!

i've moved up 75 numbers since i've been here and I'm more than half way up the list. there are more senior people on the way out. senior to me anyway. some of those leaving are over 50 years old with 12 years invested here. do these senior people know something the rest of us don't? personally i find this trend alarming. especially considering the positions they held in the union.

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
