Yep. Having a part time option to keep pilots current in case a war breaks out makes complete sense for the military. It's expensive, but the capability is worth it and it's still way cheaper that maintaining an active force at full strength all the time.

The airlines have a completely different set of needs, and also very different budgetary constraints. It doesn't make sense for the airlines to run a staffing pool the same way the military does, and so they don't do it.

Gojet down to 347 pilots... loss of 37 pilots since Sept. 1st. That equals 10% of the pilot group. Still no FO pay raises. Sounds like majority were FOs that left as well.

It would also be interesting if it was broke out CA vs FO to get an idea as to how long you’ll be sitting reserve and how much open time there is based on carrier choice…

The killer is the CA to FO mismatches developing. Doesn’t matter how many FOs you have, FO hours are limited to the number of CA hours available to fill the left seat.

Mesa currently has more CAs at every base than FOs.
