Whatever the "plan is" it seems to be working. On average we only seem to be losing 1-5 a month to the legacy ranks. I think total loss for 2015 was about 75 including all the quitters, retirements, duis, and other.

What about em? If they leave before they're hired who cares? We don't waste any money training them, odds are they would have left anyhow. Leaves an open space for another who odds are wants to be here. Everyone wins when a poolie leaves. And if said left poolie really wants to be here but couldn't hold out... They'll be here.

I thought that at first, but I tend to believe there is a more practical reason. I think it has to do with the background check, the depth they go to that other airlines don't.
If the legacies were to call every single person in the JB pool tomorrow and offer a Jan 10th class date, JB would have a very small pool.
I don't think a large corporation would do that just for a loyalty check...unless they expect and plan for a certain attrition number out of the pool...which they very well might.
Again, in a cool hiring environment you can have people sit around and wait for your call. JBs entire existence has been in a time where no legacy has hired the way they are now. JB hasn't faced this before.
I think there are many out there who would stay if they were in a class. It's harder to quit then not show up at all.

Even better reason to have a long wait in the pool then, if the theory of gauging who really wants B6 it's true.

When we have issues filling classes with good quality guys, I'm sure things will change.

I see your point, but it hasn't become a factor in filling classes. Yes we're still losing a few here and there, but classes are full. Plus, the rumors of under "qualified" isn't true either. I know one high time CRJ capt. in the dec class, and met two others picking up parking passes the other day who were there for sims.
