I certainly do not know everything and apologize if is seems that I am trying to say that. If you would like to dispute anything that I said in a civil manner, I look forward to the debate. I admit it if I am wrong.

To answer your question:
I know a few went to 121 cargo carriers, 3 that went to JetBlue, 4 or 5 that went to United, 1 that went to the FAA, and a couple that went overseas. No one that I personally know went to Delta. These are, of course, in addition to the people that went to Airways. These were all people that I know. I am not sure what the total numbers are for the company at any particular airline. I am not sure if anyone keeps those records to be made public.

I've never moved up more than 4-5 slots a month except for the first couple of moths which was higher due to washouts. Anyone that talks about moving up 10-15 slots a month is junior. I only pay attention to attrition above me. If someone gets hired at United in their first year, good for them but what were they doing at PSA making bread crumbs to begin with?

I'd rather be #400 in an airline that has 1500 pilots than #300 in an airline that has 400.
