Seriously? A 300 pilot annual turnover in a company that employs 670ish pilots? That's around 45%. Are that many being hired away by the majors or are they leaving for other reasons and if so, why and where are they going?
It would seem like this would take almost everyone upgrading to captain at 1000 hours SIC just to keep the aircraft flying. How many actual block hours are FOs, especially junior FOs, flying in a month?
At Horizon many newbie E-175 FOs are mostly sitting on their butts while at Skywest they are on reserve forever, then have to switch to a CRJ out of ORD to upgrade.
Why the huge throughput at Compass, a company that no longer has a flow to the majors?
