A good number went to Kalitta- about 100 up to now since September.
Some are retiring or moving over to 135 or part 91 instead of commuting.
Spirit, Frontier... take your pick. Whoever will take us.

Some already made the lateral move. Almost all the LASA FOs left over the past year for one regional or another to get the PIC time. The ones leaving now are the senior holdouts who weren’t going to make lateral moves.

A lateral move right now is stupid.

The smart ones made lateral moves months or years ago.

I agree. One thing to move on to something bigger and better. But a lateral move at this point would probably be foolish. Might as well ride it out.

Imagine the exodus if management comes to the pilots Jan 31 and says “just a couple more weeks guys...”.

Fixed it for you. Take it from someone who was on the fence for a long time- don't wait for the clowns in Atlanta to make the decision for you. If I had not wasted my time waiting for the CPP nut kick, I'd be a widebody Captain at my current airline. Granted, my crystal ball was inop all those years. Make the jump, you won't regret it.
