Well, that number was since last report and included expected separations in February. We only lost 102 in the month of January and that number is offset by a few new-hires (20-ish IIRC). That's still a good amount of attrition. It'll be interesting to see how the attrition reports trend over the next few months.

what does it matter? 145 left per the report.....i don't see the new hire numbers to offset this attrition. they need to start including amount of new hires to the attrition reports that they send out. the included expected separations is always more than the numbers sent out.

ASA has lost 25 since the last seniority list came out early Feb.

And now $7500 for typed CRJ or ERJ pilots.
Is the DFW base still shrinking? Is it only CRJ or ERJ as well?
How long before a new hire can hold it?
Thanks.

The CRJ DFW base is open and as far as I know isn't shrinking. The ERJ DFW base isn't open quite yet. As far as holding it the CRJ has been having position notices about every 3 months. If you can't hold DFW right out of training just wait for a position notice and bid any base you like, any new hire can pretty much hold any base but all new hires will be on reserve until resignation, termination, or death.

I would say a new hire on the CRJ side could hold DFW pretty quickly. That is if our company actually put out position notices prior to any new hire class so that current pilots could actually bid away from places they don't desire to be, leaving openings in a base that a new hire would like...

Does that happen? Good question...ExpressJet CRJ (ASA) hasn't hired in a number of years (real hiring...not 10-20 a year) so who knows if the people in the hamster palace know anything about actually handling vacancies in a way that makes the most sense.

Come to ExpressJet with the understanding that very few people in mid-level management positions have undergraduate, much less graduate, degrees in any subject. Oh, and if you're okay never upgrading.

Other reserve rules:

Commuter pilots can fly in during the first two hours of the reserve period. Call scheduling, tell them you're on the plane, and to leave a voicemail if there's a trip. You'll be there in time and ready to go.

Line holders can simply drop a trip if there's sufficient reserves available to cover the trip. No trade, no swap, no pick up, just a straight drop.

They would have to have reserve coverage for that to matter.

Most regionals have that. It's just a matter if there is enough coverage. Which there never is.

So this new checklist deal, is this both sides or just L-ASA? Either way cant wait for tomorrow for the sh!t show.
