DFW

IAD
88 / 89
70 / 73

IAH
177 / 171
141 / 133

PHX
97 / 100

So only 985 total pilot? Then why does the global seniority list show 1295 total pilots. I doubt we have 310 pilot in training.

I stand by my comment that 3 to 4 CA's are leaving each week, but I should clarify, that's 3 to 4 getting job offers and later class dates. We all know CA's who are leaving to Atlas, Jet Blue, Spirit, United, etc. It's only going to pick up. Really, I don't care about the number of CA's that are leaving, I care about the number of new hires coming in, and the number of FO's leaving.

Depends on how much flying you want to do. There are some junior line holders getting 15 days off but are down around the 76-78 hour range. If you want 90+ hours of flying, figure on 11-12 days off a month.

Would anyone who is in initial E175 now or recently hired know if there is any idle time during sim training, I am hearing that there is a backup for E175 sim time for some airlines as long as 5 weeks break between systems and sim, and, wondering if that's the case for Mesa pilots.. Thank you.
