Had application status change to “Under Review” on 4/1. Anyone else have any traction since submitting?

Maybe he's including people who in March said they would leave in April. So its their known exit date, not necessarily when they gave notice. That makes more sense because 80 in 5 days is a lot.

Right, the more coherent way I think about it is add two weeks to today, so by April 19th 80 people have resigned with two weeks notice. But of course this number may have been from April 1st or 2nd, which keeps us on track to 160ish a month..

Jeez 160 a month is incredibly high. Can they sustain that with the reduced training capacity?

783 pilots in the last 2 quarters.

Spirit’s financial reports use to list ‘juniority’ as a cost savings. I think they’d prefer it this way and it allows them to control staffing as they shrink.
