I think the most pilots we had on the seniority list was a couple of years ago at about 1200...and now we have about 1000...we're down a few since Jan.

In Oct. 2011, we had 862 pilots, according to vacancy bid 2011-3.

High-water mark was 1029 in June 2013 (2013-4).

Since then, we've been right about 1,000 +/- a handful.

Check. Since I've been here. Minimal overall shift in total.

Sweet! Never thought we'd see it there since the pax traffic levels are pretty low.

Any idea of the class sizes? How many are in the May class?

5/19 class has 11 new-hires and one CA returning from medical leave. 3 RJ drivers (one with prior MIL and ACMI time as an FE), 4 MIL guys, 2 ACMI World guys, 1 Emirates 777 guy, and 1 pure corporate background. We're all ANC for now.

I think the theory is that in order for the 3 year 76 guys to bid over there have to be vacancies in the 74 right seat. If the 74 right seat is fully staffed or even over staffed these vacancies would be minimal and the exodus from the 76 right seat would be more "controllable" from a training/staffing standpoint.

True, DC8, but I'm a bit more hopeful...My opinion is that hiring will continue, and as long as there is a new hire class in the pipeline, they cannot stop the 767 pilots (well, the FOs at least) from being awarded a higher paying aircraft.

I am sure they will find a way to keep us on the 767 once it's starts costing them money. Until then we are all just complaining pilots without a cause
