Was that just for the L-ASA side?

For clarification purposes: 87 pilots total left ExpressJet Airlines (ASA and XJT) since June 2014. At least on the L-ASA side, the master seniority lists have been published between the 7th-9th of each month, so I don't know when/where this 87 number was established, but point is, since the last time they compiled attrition numbers, 87 pilots have left the company, both ERJ and CRJ.

L-ASA side only: There were two classes of ten pilots each in June. (6/9 and 6/23)

The ice is beginning to thaw...

The ice may be beginning to thaw, but the ship is sinking.... The only hope is to abandon ship. Just saying.

The only reason to abandon ship is if you are able to move onto a legacy or lcc. I'm sure there are a lot of people at XJT who are waiting on a call.

Agree 100%. I don't blame very junior FO's on either side of this airline that go to other regionals to give themselves the best chance of upgrade and movement, where here at XJT, 7 year FO's have a VERY good chance of being 9-10 year FO's before it is all said and done. But you're right, for FO's with 3+ years of service in, holding a line by a wide margin and being able to control their schedule and make a decent living, it is really hard to start over at another regional, waiting for a Major or LCC is the way to go.

Negotiations resume July 21st...this thread will likely be dead until then.

The attrition reports illustrate your bolded point very well:

1-3 Years of Service: 148
4-6 Years of Service: 2
7-10 years of Service: 167

After year 3 there is too much invested for most to bail for another regional.
