Doubtful. Now that the super power that is the ERJ training department has been pumping out pilots more streamline, the company is talking with AA to possibly turn 1-2 jets a month to 3 jets a month. Also since the ERJ-140 is not a scope issue we can continue to grow the airline another 200+ pilots. Mgmt has said their crew planning model to include flow/attrition around 100 pilots a year. Thats a bunch of growth/movement.

I think as we move down the road this will probably happen. Instead of metering the flow when the pilot shortage gets deeper I wouldn't be surprised if our WO's are given a Seniority number. That way if they hold you at the WO's you'll still be gaining seniority while being withheld. They hold you for 6 months but you won't care because by the time you go to class you'll have 250 pilots below you already. This would also help lock in many of the instructors to keep that turnover low.
