Hopefully all senior to # 367.

I have a steak dinner riding on 100 being gone by the first quarter. Not sure how many will leaver right away, but I am sure alot will leave the first time they get frustrated with management.

I don't think that it will be that many. Hope I'm wrong though

230 is my number.

Add winter, deicing, loading bags, and well it makes the choice pretty easy when you're planning on leaving in only a few months anyway.

I am new to NJA and still very gung ho. I don't know why anyone would want to leave NJA but I know attrition is inevitable. I asked about the expansion. One person put it very well. The situation is very fluid and changes on a daily basis. There are mulitple a\c on order that will both replace existing a/c and expand NJA. There is some attrition due to retirements and some to other jobs will be coming with the airlines starting to hire soon. In short things change but growth has been promised. With the trend starting to swing to the favorable side of the industry, expansion and growth is a shoe in. I was told for sure 350 for next year minimum. You do the numbers for the a/c on hard order and we are looking at 4000 plus by 2010. Just hope for more a/c sales and bigger equipment. I think 5000 is a very reachable number. Bring it on baby!!!

Wow, 230 would be great! I've flown with 5 XL pics that told me they're leaving after the 2nd installment. Lets just hope that there are more leaving out of more fleets and those 5 guys I flew with know 25 other people that want to leave at the same time!! I'd love to see 230, but I'd also be happy with 100. Me thinks the "Mayor" knows more than me!! Cheers :beer:

You guys laugh but I know of SEVERAL who have made "other plans" quite some time ago and have been waiting for the proper time... money in hand.

My guess is that at least 200 leave by June of 2007. Any takers?

From your mouth to God's ears! But, I'm thinking it will be less than 100. I'm a little short on cash, however I'd be willing to wager a shiny new watch

For what its worth attrition currently averages 8/month. With the second dispersment of the bonus, we will see some sort of increase (I'm not even going to guess).

Also, a 1 1/2 ago when I was hired they said in indoc that the plan was 300-500 a year for the next 5 years. I know things can change and that is old information but for what its worth...

 

[gunfyter]

I heard we would only hire maybe 300 total for duration of the contract. But that was in 2004

I don't know why anyone would want to leave NJA but I know attrition is inevitable.

NetJets has hired a lot of retired airline pilots in the past 3 years. Most of these guys only had about 5 years of work left in them when they came on board. So it is only natural that many of them will be calling it quits. The other factor is that for new guys having to commute under the current domicile system totally blows. I believe that these are probably the two largest factors driving the attrition rate. The silver lining is that new guys are moving up the seniority list at breakneck speeds.
