Curious, where are the AJT pilots moving onto? How soon after getting employed are pilots leaving for other carriers?

Comparing notes with a friend and trying to prove a point. Thanks!

More or less a year. Most pilots are leaving to ULLCs a small handful go to destination airlines.
As far as your friend. Dude it’s their funeral. Some people actually enjoy this place. At least 1/3 of the pilot group is not going anywhere, cus they can’t or simply they like it.
If your friend is pressed to go to AJT I say let them

What on earth is a destination carrier?

Well, the two folks that I know that left AJT, one went to FedEx and the other went to Delta. The hiring in this industry is cyclical, right now people are getting hired from every company out there.

Popular euphemism for legacy airlines. However i am sure you will now pose the question as to what a legacy airline is and we will go down a rabbit hole of ridiculousness. Quite frankly I don’t have the time to entertain such idiocracy.
Right now any job is out for the taking. If amerijet, atlas, ati is a destination airline then, the world is your oyster. Less competition to those who want to achieve their aviation dreams.

Can't be that popular, I've been at it for 40 years and never heard the expression. But talking about entertaining Idiocy, pilots continue to talk about how you won't be hired at brand X because of where you currently work. That is a rabbit whole of ridiculousness.

In this business there isn't a "destination" When I got on the hiring pool at Eastern, I thought that was it for the remainder, when I got hired at ANA, the same. FedEx is now what people would consider a destination. But I remember when they were flying raggedy Falcons and no one would look at them twice.

Getting hired is about timing and a good first impression, not where you work. PanAm, TWA, Eastern were all Legacy Carriers.

If the program means going from flying a 172 to a 767….yeah, sounds so good. Make yourself a favor and fly a jet/turboprop with less auto-everything so that you can gain some valuable skills and experience. Flying a crj to a small town is not that exciting but you gotta fly the damn thing.
Going from a 172 to a WB, including international routes…..good lord.
