Has anyone else noticed that PSA's seniority lists has been shrinking over the past couple months and that we've added only 51 pilots (net) since April, 2015?
Per flica, the monthly seniority list show these numbers of pilots, (since the May bids):
Month......... Pilots.........Change from previous month
Oct............1195...................(-9)
Sept..........1204...................(-3)
Aug...........1207...................(+10)
July...........1197...................(+98)
June..........1099 ...................(-45)
May............1144 (which came out in April)
I know we stopped hiring F.O.s for a period of time but we continued to hire D.E.C.s. If PSA's not even able to keep up with attrition, how are they going to hire 1000 pilots over the next 24 months???
Is that a sign-on bonus I smell?? No, not without RETENTION BONUSES!

Up until this past summer, PSA was averaging adding 45 pilots a month. Now that hiring is ramping up again, if that same throughput can be repeated, we should be at 1500 pilots in about 8-9 months.

How many times do you find yourself driving to Knoxville in a typical month? Im trying to get a rough estimate on how many times I will make that drive, so I can work up a little travel budget and figure our what kind of mileage my vehicle will be looking at. Ive figured my drive right at 2:45 as well. Im only 10 min from BNA, but I think I am subscribing to your theory about not having to worry about getting a spot on a flight.

These are the total pilots for the last couple of years. You have to be careful about using just the number of names on the list since sometimes it includes classes that started in the same month the list was generated. Also, the list isn't 100% accurate so that should be kept in mind.

Not 100% accurate... So it could possibly be worse than the list portrays
