Average attrition I have seen is around 6-7 a month. Not sure how it is towards the bottom of the seniority list though, that is based more towards the top 55-35% range.
To flow in five years, you'd need to see around 10 a month, that might be happening at the bottom of the list, but it sure isn't happening towards the top.

I’m towards the very bottom of the list as a new hire. The last few months that I’ve been “working” I’m seeing an average of about 11 a month. Some it’s been less than 10, other times I’ve seen myself move up 12-14 spots in one month. IF it continued at least an average 10 a month consistently, I’ve been estimating about 4 1/2 years.

Make sure you look at how fast people are moving towards the top of the list as well so you can get an average, not just what it shows where you are. If not, I think you'll be disappointed when it is slower than what you initially calculated.

I figured, just was confirming what it looked like at the bottom. In my more realistic averages I add 1-1.5 years just for those reasons you mentioned. But then again if these negotiations don’t work out, all bets are off. 
Right, it's different for where you are in the seniority list. If you're lower, you'll see a higher attrition. As time goes on, you won't be moving as fast. The average I have seen (been here for about 2-2.5 years) is 6.5 a month. When I first got on, I moved up quick, and it's slowed down quite a bit since then. As you get closer to the flow number, less and less people leave for other opportunities.

I would say add 2-3 years and you’ll be in the ballpark of when you’ll flow. There are many ways to crunch those numbers as you can see, but you can be sure it won’t be a 5 year flow for someone hired today. I think people hired in spring to early summer of 2015 will see the fastest flow, with anyone after that seeing an increasingly longer time until their number is called

3 to 5 years actually. Well worst case is get your 1000 hours of part 121 time and start applying elsewhere.

Pretty much everyone I talk to that’s outside of a year from flow has their finger on the button if this deal is not up to par. Swa spirit etc. apps will be flying off the shelves around here. Of course the smaat kids have apps out already and know they can push off class dates while waiting on the deal to be done
Pdt has been very good to me. However that is not the case for the majority of the line guys here as of lately.
