Looks like hiring was normal but attrition was huge.

There is this magical sucking sound from the top of the list every time SWA runs a class.

The didnt run classes at the end of December. So January isn't a good indicator on the +5. The more concerning thing is that we lost 70 pilots in January!!! Thats good movement!! Will see what this month holds..

The only way management comes back to the table is we start losing more than we can hire.

And any ideas on which flying gets cut first when we can't staff it?

200’s....... UA probably..then DL. But as someone said ERJ classes are full tell May.. CRJ is what will suffer.. we’re already flying a ton... maybe they will be able to get more ASA guys to come over..

My vote is for the 200's in general. The split controls are dead. Long live the FADEC.

I still can't believe that there are believers who believe in the believability of more CRJ 900 lites coming our way. It is just so unbelievable.

I too would guess 200 flying is reduced first if it comes to it.
The recent acquiring of more EAS routes has been a direct result of previous at-risk flying being changed by mainline to contract flying. They say they want to keep at-risk flying at 10%, so they threw out bids.

At some point here a contract won’t be renewed.
