The numbers this year seem reasonable. I know guys that have left every legacy carrier for another or cargo (don’t know anyone that has left FedEx though...). Every one of the many guys I know leaving the military have have multiple interviews and/or offers to choose from. Personally, I think it’s a great thing that people have options and are shuffling around. I’m happy that they have the choice to decide what is best for them and their family. I’m also happy when another carrier gets a great contract. All of that together means pilots are in demand and puts my company on notice that they better step up their game come contract time.

Someone who gets it. Amazing. Everyone else is busy defending their own choice.
