Southwest has said the goal for 2022 was also 1800. Should make for a fun year. Buckle up and get ready!

Is there a public database of LCA’s? If I were big6 HR I’d start trying to headhunt.

They have been. That is why there are such huge retention bonuses in place at the AA WO regionals. They are trying to get their experienced captains and check airmen to stay as long as possible.

I know that 20k number had been tossed around during the 2010’s but I’m thinking it’s more like 15k now. 5k at Skywest 2.5k at envoy 2.5k at republic, 1.5k at 9e, 1.5 at Mesa, and maybe 3k between psa, pdt, commutair and gojet?

Skywest is over 5500 right now and aiming for 7000, not sure about the others.

PSA is about to hit 2k by itself.

9E has almost 2k. But who knows what that number looks like by spring/summer especially with how many are leaving come Nov. People are leaving now but flow numbers will be added come Nov.

Alright boys well let’s get everyone to submit numbers and find out if it’s closer to 20 or 15k

no i mean real headhunting
