I'm guessing something will be coming, just a matter of how long it takes before it's announced.

Right now it seems FO attrition to is higher than capt attrition. Capts appear to be sticking around for a legacy only, while FO's are going to LCC's it seems. Explains why our FO attrition is higher.

We still have a few years to go until the retirement boom at the majors really begins... Right now it seems FO attrition to is higher than capt attrition.

It looks like experience still matters (at least I hope so). I agree that most CAs (me included) are waiting for legacies, possibly Southwest or FedEx and UPS. It's still awfully hard to "score" an interview though. I don't think the attrition floodgates will break any time soon. Maybe 20 a month will become an average? I don't expect 40/month that some were estimating will happen in the near future.
Not too long ago we had one that was more FOs than Capts as I recall though. Or maybe it was the mid month attrition update I was thinking of.
