There was a recent post about the Bro side really needing FO's. Can any of you current bro pilots chime in here and let us know if you still feel like you need new pilots? Also, what is attrition like in the company? How many CA's per month have been leaving for "greener pastures" with the majors? Just goes to show you that things can change rapidly especially when we are dealing only with speculation.

Attrition for the month from December to January bid packages showed me moving up 10 spots. I am 208X out of 28XX. When I started, we were losing on average of 20 to 25. It has slowed, but a few have still left. On Sunday, we will get a more accurate look at how much we moved up when bids come out. For being "staffed", we have a lot of red arrows in MKE. Red arrows means not enough reserves to cover a drop request. Who knows what is going on?

Just looked at our lines in FAT for the Bro and it seems we are back to being short on the FO side again for March. PBS says 57 people in base bidding and their targeting 62 lines. I can here it now. SGU is shooting out red arrows towards SkedPlus+ for March........what a surprise!

PDX is full of red arrows for this month. I also just heard that the march EMB new hire class was canceled. source said mgmt wouldn't say why. you know how it goes though, believe it when you see it.
oh, hmm.. march looks ok. 16 targeted lines, 19 fo's.
