ASA Attrition

[Smacktard]

Are we still losing 1+ a day?

I would say at least 1 a day. Talked to a friend of mine the other day and he said he sat in the lounge for an hour and 5 ca's quit.
I sat down there 2 days ago and 1 guy said he was going to Southwest and the other was going to Delta.

What I have a hard time understanding is that some people attempt to portray this sort of thing as bad. Last time I checked, the sort of attrition we are seeing is GOOD thing. And when I talked to MJ, the body count was consistent with 1 a day.

Just did my line check and the training department guy said that they have just managed to get ahead with more pilots hired than resigned this year. Although that does change daily.

Oh and I am resigning tomorrow so that should help keep attrition on pace with hiring!!

When you work at a Regional, you are to expect that it is a "Starter" job not a "Career". The bigger guys are hiring and paying a lot more (in the long run), so why not leave while you can.

< going to upgrade on the 19th. I hope that I won't be on reserve that long. I don't mind the crappy schedules, just don't want to be on reserve forever.

With all of us that have left you will not be. There are a lot more that are in the June and July classes here at DAL. DAL is going to 50 a month starting in July, so expect to see many ASAers leaving. Good news for all.

I know of two ASA captains in the DAL July 2 class, me being one of them. And I think there are 3 ASA captains in this Monday's class.

Anybody else in the 2nd class?

One of my FO's will be in Class with you on the 2cnd.

Another FO. What kind of experience?

 

[av8er2]

Who do you need to give the 2 week notice to? Any rules?

Another FO. What kind of experience?

Long time Delta employee who worked his way up in the Flight Training Dept. Flew at ASA twice in between Delta opportunities. Not your typical career path. Very good guy, good pilot.

thats the funny part, its the guys right in the middle who are leaving. (senior F/O, junior CPT) there are still plenty of two+ captains still on reserve.
