1201 total pilots as of Sep 30 seniority list. Just under 2 years and I'm right around 70%. Approx 12% of those senior to me when I was hired have left.

I'm right there with ya... January 2013 hire myself (767 class, so you're probably a class ahead of me), and I can't believe the amount of movement. Great to see. With the latest new-hire vacancies included, it puts us at ~61%.

You guys have great timing, with a great company. Which do you feel attributed more to your rise in seniority, growth or attrition?

I think the #s show it's the growth... I have over 320 folks below me and as i mentioned previously 125ish ahead of me have retired or left. of the 125 or so it would seem that's split 50/50 between folks leaving and retirements (we seem to average about 30 retirements per year). We also have added a few airplanes since I was hired, a rough count would put it at atleast 8 which I can think of in the last year or so (I'm sure I will b corrected, but in the last year +4 767s from ABX, + 2 more for DHL announced a few months ago and + 2 747s announced a few months ago).

The beginning of 2012 we had 916 on the list. Current list shows 1201 so a one third increase in 4 years.

Which include tons of unfilled positions. We don't have 1450 pilots on property.

How'd you come up with these? I'm going by 1201 pilots on the current seniority list, plus 126 new-hire vacancies (not included on the seniority list). 1327 total with the vacancies included.
