Pilot Staffing Update; Summer Outlook
Staffing is always a hot topic with everybody, particularly for the summer. As I mentioned last month, we have a CRJ new-hire class in progress, and we’re also in the process of hiring 48 ERJ pilots.
It’s going to be a busy summer, as always. The good news is, on the ERJ side we have an increase in block hours for the remainder of the year, and we’ll be hiring monthly for the remainder of the year it appears at this time. We’ll have more information on that going forward, but based on the block hours that have been added on the ERJ side at United, and with flight time/duty time, we’ll continue to hire to meet those needs.

Is it still considered attrition when it's a lot of junior people quitting because there is no real movement and reserve at a regional airline for years is hardly a career? Hiring is going on but I haven't moved a whole lot. With numbers like 2 classes per month and 7-8 year upgrade is............well interesting.

Latest announcement of hiring doesn't mention future CRJ classes, only ERJ. ERJ classes every month for the rest of the year to keep up with attrition, increased block hours and upcoming FT/DT regs.
