Either way, you won't have to count on attrition to upgrade. They're just getting ready to start accepting the next round of King Airs with the Fusion avionics installed & they're going to need lots of guys to fly them.

Are any of the bases more understaffed than others? I currently live within 2 hours of a base but would be able to move to a more understaffed base. When those that applied sent in resumes did you include the base you were initially looking to be operating out of?
