They went back and corrected the seniority list mid month. Lost 5 folks between the beginning of the month list and mid month update.

Is that basically all flows or people that bailed in the last 18 months or so?

- All the 2008 and 2011 DOHs that fell off this month, left via the flow.
- All of the 2018 DOHs were, presumably, in training. I'd guess the attrition is a combination of failures and people leaving for different jobs.

These are just pilots that have fallen off the list in the last month.

Fairly similar ratios here at envoy.

So what leverage do the WOs have? The flow seems to be working exactly how they want it to. Pilots are staying despite sub-industry standard compensation and classes are mostly full.

If all 9 (6 flows plus 3 outside attrition) of those were line captains, that would 4% of the line qualified captains on property, leaving per month (PDT had 207 in November). DECs are only coming onboard at 2 per month.
Many of the folks leaving have been instructors so that creates a different problem.
The numbers shift some after the 2019 system bid goes into effect, and more Dash transition Captains and DECs finish training but if attrition continues at the current rate, Piedmont is on track lose approximately 20% of its captain and instructor cadre in 2019. In 2020 it seems that percentage will drop off some as 1/5 of the flow through pilots are tracking to be FO lifers.

Piedmont is smaller so a loss of an extra 3 a month is a 50% increase in attrition outside of the flow.
