Default Regional Attrition

How many pilots has your regional lost in the last month? How about over this past year? I'm trying to get a sense for the attrition at the major regionals.

Expressjet has lost 83 pilots in the last month.

We were told that Horizon loses about 3 per week. I would imagine that's a bit of a low estimate.

Endeavor has lost 62 so far in November, about 170 over the last 3 months and better than 500 for the year. We've hired about 30 for the year...

I would imagine at Horizon your attrition is just folks moving up, not making lateral moves...am I correct in this assumption?

Do you have a breakdown? How many CA/FO?

At the interview a few weeks ago, they told us about 1 in 3 is moving up, but plenty are getting hired elsewhere. Someone closer to the action please let me know if I'm wrong.

Skywest is losing between 15 and 30 per month. Most months this year have been about 15 but it's picked up recently closer to 30.

I'd be interested how many are actually moving up to majors, and better jobs in corporate flight departments or cargo. Not just who is jumping ship from one regional to another. Though I'm guessing people leaving Horizon and Skywest are probably moving on to greener pastures given they are usually considered the 'best' regionals?

Exactly, I should have been more clear. "Getting hired elsewhere" meant The Big 3, JB and SWA.

What about Spirit, VA, FedEx, UPS, Frontier, Alaska etc? Those aren't good enough?
