Because SLC is growing on the ERJ big time this fall.. There are SLC guys that commute to BOI right now. So i would say yes. It will drop.. Ask again in October I bet by then things will be more transparent...

Yes, people are starting to go to the majors at 3 years, but they are the exception, not the norm. Way more people are leaving at 4+ years.

I would guess the average is more like 7-8 years.

Don’t only a small percentage of those 7-8 year guys end up at AA vs other major/legacy carriers? From those I’ve talked to it seems to be heavy on the DAL, UAL, and SWA side.

When people tell me they'll be at Delta in a year.

Wow. It's crazy to think a January new-hire could be into March before actually flying the plane, then go to upgrade in November. You'd have MSP-based captains who had never even been through a deicing process.

They've been through the deice process. This is MN after all, and I think the last deice I did was in late April :-) That aside, they also had experience at another regional prior to joining SkyWest.
