For BoilerUp and to respond:
In a robust hiring environment, some pilots have more than one option. Timing as we all know is everything. We often grab the next rung up from current position and if offered the 'dream' job (family reasons, want to live in domicile, etc) we will keep moving. Happens at many airlines and UPS too. We have folks that come from legacies and Southwest for example, and others that get opportunity very early stages and leave for same. Reflection on individual pilot needs/wants and market opportunity. Same for the few who no show a class when offered as starting somewhere else. Fortunate timing for them to have two choices drop at same time.
Not many, but one here, and one there makes several
Happened in early 90's for many airlines.
For 2018, so far 101 started. 101 still UPS.
2017 had several come and press on for various reasons.

1. Some calming that this is the best job in the industry. Why are people leaving the greatest job after reaching the pinnacle?
2. What should be public knowledge is; I got a secret like everything else in the old boys club in Fern Valley. No transparency and if you say anything about it, cue union propaganda to discredit anyone questioning it.
Need term limits and ban the cronyism that is running our union these days. Matt S and John S have it right, leadership change is needed.

Hmm? I served a term on the EB, worked twice as hard and earned way less money that I did just flying the line. Never again. In my 30 years here one thing is constant, there’s never a shortage of Monday Morning Quarterbacks with keyboard courage who’ve never completed a pass much less earned a first down. The ballot is the most effective term limit.
