Over staffed? What base/equipment are you in? The 80 has daily VFN's out of SFB and PIE.

Should be interesting as it's been said that attrition is back to pre-contract levels.

Hard to have a hiring boom when you're leaking pilots.

Mostly off the bottom it seems.

Other persistent rumor seems to be $20/hr across the board raise to slow attrition

That doesn't make any sense. Why would the company commit to a long term cost for a short term problem? And if it's junior people leaving, then why would they make an across the board raise?

Attrition was planned at 6 per month. I believe we're close to that. Some people will leave for bigger jets or pay, but I don't see an exodus.

As did comments to the investment community during recent conference call.

That was before we got the deal on the 330's

Its not that high. Even at 200 from the bottom is only 0-3 per month.

It's also been said that I have a 12 inch co.... we'll, you get the picture.




See above... Just because it's on the internet (or in a FB post by MB) doesn't make it true.



Attrition: If you look carefully through the seniority list it's minimal. The few people that have left have been primarily from the bottom of the list with a few recently upgraded (12-18 month) -80 guys. We've had 4 or 5 go to Delta.

There will be no pay raise to stem attrition and it's just not how our management team rolls. In addition, a $20 an hour raise doesn't solve any problem. IF someone really wanted to start a good (believable) rumor, they should say that to stem attrition the company is FINALLY going to purchase a true scheduling system that ACTUALLY honors seniority and hire additional help in payroll so our pay is correct more than it's not.
