Attrition? Since June my average month seniority rise has slowed by a factor of about 30% of what it used to be. Guys are leaving, but not out of the top like they were. Hopefully it will pick back up again. Nothing like a bored winter to get guys to fill out apps.

I know a guy who just left a part 135 company early for Skywest, and Skywest agreed to pay 1/3rd of his fee for leaving the contract early.

I heard they have done this with some GLA folks.

They don't hire for a base. You get to bid on domiciles and go where there are openings and your seniority can hold. FAT is a CRJ base. Nearly everyone starts off in MSP or ORD and changes domiciles as their seniority allows.

Hardly anyone wants to be based in FAT so you could probably get there pretty quick. It's a small base though, only 30-40 crews.

I see what you mean....how realistic is FAT after ORD or MSP? Thanks!
