Math is fun...and fuzzy
Who says they'll all be captains? I bet it'll be more like 60 to 40% captain to FO.

Oh, and the Marines are paying their pilots $160k to leave.
I know one Marine that negotiated that up to $220K :eek:

More like 20%, looks like you'll have to upgrade! ;)

DL has been around 80-90% current or previous captains/aircraft commanders

Maybe at the less desirable majors/LCCs...reality is it's a very competitive environment and if you can choose FO or CA, it's a very easy choice...unless you're scared of losing pilots to better pastures

Agreed. All things equal TPIC reigns. But I don't see only guys with TPIC getting calls. RJ FO's are getting hired at United right now.

I think guys are looking for credible info.
Info direct from the SVP - total attrition Jan-Sept for 2013 = 38 pilots. That is off a seniority list of 2500 pilots - or less than 1.5%.

Total expected for attrition Oct-Dec (including recalls) is approx. 30-40.

On the flip side the total hired to date in 2013 is 200ish and will finish the year at 260. As for 2013, he said we will hire 12 pilots per delivery (total 120-150 pilots). Thus, factoring for new deliveries, FAR 117, recalls, attrition and such, the plan is to hire 250-350 next year. At least that is what is the CP's and others are saying

Frontier to hire 108 as of Sept. 2013 through Nov. 2014

What does upgrade at Spirit do for you?
