Airline Pilot Demand
 

How accurate is this website?

Airline Pilot Demand | Audries Aircraft Analysis

According to the website, this is how many pilots regionals will need in 2015 alone.

PSA:679
TSA:617
Republic:554
Mesa:356
Skywest:305
Compass:247

These are just some top ones....does this seem accurate? Also, what's optimum staffing for these regionals? 11-13 pilots per aircraft?

Republic is going to need a lot more than that with how many they are losing from the bottom of the list.

Looks like the watering hole is drying up fast.

That number looks about right for PSA given how many pilots we have now and how many I hear we're trying to get to.

I think PSA plans for 10.5 pilots per airframe. I've heard other regionals have very close numbers. I don't work in the DO's office though so I of course don't know for sure.

It's like the flipping Flat Earth Society in here or something.

People who understand the airline industry realized months ago that PSA actually signed a contract that was good for them, and introduced increased pay and QOL to a pilot group that had been neglected for years. And if they didn't sign the contract, they would all be looking for new jobs elsewhere.

Then you come on this board and see comments like this.

Granted, the majority of the people here are not airline pilots, and are just looking for every opportunity to troll. I pity you. I really do.

Can Republic really get that many guys next year. I thought the word was out on them. Most of their pilot group seems really unhappy.

I don't know. But didn't they just get awarded a bunch of 175s for delta? I don't know any jet that shiny to make most people wanna work for them..

only 9

and that negates any losses from the merger of CHQ

upgrade is still ~6 years

With the Q400 and CHQ going away, but the 59 EJETS, is that a gain or loss of air frames?
