What is the "normal" attrition rate, aside from the flow? 50 a year?

Well we have a new contract. Signed in 2013. If the company wants to sweeten the deal for new hires they are going to have to negotiate pay raises for all. We are unionized. You can't just arbitrarily give increases in wages to one part of the pilot group.
In 2014 the company forced us to a 12 year pay cap. Making it the worst in the industry. They cheat with our critical pay and are dishonest with the reserve grid. We rarely get paid properly. These items need to be fixed prior to any negotiations for increases in first year pay. The pilots on property need to be taken care of first. Management made this mess by being greedy and paying low wages for the past 15 years. Let them sweat trying to find labor.

Do you really think that will happen? I hope so but highly doubt it. The better paying Regionals will scoop up all the pilots and PSA is not one.

Has anyone had experience with their open houses? They advertise on site interviews. Are the interviews the same format as normal; 25 question test and panel interview or something more condensed? Are hiring decisions made at these events or are they interviews to get an interview?
Thank you in advance.
