What is it with southerners and bulls, balls, teats and peach fuz??

Personally, I would like a 4 day of ALL deadheads, 15 hour layovers, starts in the AM, finishes early PM and 25 hours of pay.

The South WILL rise again. I do love me some sweet tea. And who doesn't love a Georgia Peach?

He's right. It's not just Bendo but a few others as well. There were/are a handful of guys in Canada this week.

From the Ink magazine:

19 pilots have left for other airlines
4 have retired
3 have resigned for other reasons

Doesn't equal 38 and doesn't equal a mass exodus.

Maybe not mass but it is about 15% of what we have hired this year that they now have to replace when they are mostly hiring for growth. I'd say it's significant enough for them to take note.

No, and those numbers do not take into the 3 that turned in their notice the past two weeks. One 9 year CA.

And them numbers are probably up until June or so of this year and for only half the year. Talked to an FO the other day in the terminal, said he's already been hired at United, just waiting for a class date. The exodus is coming, but what's more important is guys want to leave, that's not good.

I'm just excited to move up a number next month when Rainbows finally quits!

Good luck Rainbows!

I ain't quitting, no one will have me. I walked under that sign that said "abandon all hope ye Low Tier pilot who enter here"

Negative, Ghostrider. Do you see the bi-weekly newhire class sizes on the awards emails? One was a class of FOUR. Hardly sounds like the company is scrambling for pilots.
