Currently we have just over 100 pilots in SLC. It is very senior out there, however, there are newhires on the bottom of the list sitting reserve. They will never hold a line or get off of reserve. Rumor from the CP out there is a reduction in flights by at least a third or so, if not more, coming in Janurary.

I just flew with a base chief pilot last week and that is where my info comes from. ASA is not pleased with the attrition rate and is looking at ways, such as profit sharing, to get guys to stay on board longer. But for now, the only way to stop the bleeding is to continue to hire at that rate. I noticed the senority numbers on the new guys as of last week are up in the 1,800's now. If i remember correctly, it was only in the 1,600's or so over the summer. They have to hire for both attrition and new a/c deliveries at once.

There has always been a 70 base in ATL, ever since '02 or so when we took delivery of the first ones. Right now there are about 200 pilots, CA's & FO's, on the 70. We're waiting to hear where the new 70's that were announced a few weeks ago are going to go....either us or Skywest? Chances are, they're coming here to ATL. That may explain the latest awards that came out today. I have been #60 of 86 FO's or so, now there are 98 of us on the list. They don't just add pilots to a list for no reason.
