Skywest Attrition

What's the attrition lately or what's it look like for the upcoming months? I know it's slow just wondering if there is any movement at all. What would it take to get a class going or even some interviews? Just grasping for something positive to keep my hopes up.

5-10 on the master list per month is my take.

Not enough to get me close enough to even hope I can hold a line.

Do you guys think they will start hiring within the next 6 months?

I've only moved up 438 spots in 29 months. That's an average of only 15 per month and I'm sure there were a few months that spiked around 20-25 over that last 2 years but no higher. Even if you add in the FO's behind me I can't imagine it being more than 18 per month on average. A good friend of mine was hired in Nov., to date only has 182 pilots behind him and has only moved up 139 spots, that’s only an attrition rate of 17.3 per month and he's well over 1000 pilots behind me.

In the last 4 months alone I’ve only moved up 22 spots. That’s an average of around 5.25 at my seniority level. I’m sure that, if you add those behind me that are leaving, our current attrition rate is around 5-10 per month.

Hard to say but my guess is that we will be randomly interviewing but no RJ classes until late next spring with a few EMB New Hire classes here and there.

I was hired in June for the Brasilia, but no word of any classes yet.

SkyWest is offering LOA of up to a year. I doubt they'd be doing that without planning on not needing additional pilots.

Yeah to be honest since my parents live in LA I would actually rather fly the Bro and be home based to cover some of my college loan costs. For now though I'll try to instruct back home and get some more time...finish the ATP written and get the II and MEI under my belt. I'm not looking to join an airline anytime before 6 months from now to be honest....too much in my life that I need to work out right now. Thanks though man! I'll keep my head up and keep applying!
