Hiring Forcasts at NJA

If they hire 350 next year, we'll be right around 3000 pilots. 11/14 company seniority list shows 2601 pilots.

Don't forget about attrition.

Don't forget about attrition.

That is the million dollar question, how many will we lose during the course of next year??? I have heard numbers from 240-400, depends on who you talk to.

I'm guessing 230.

If they really wanted to control the growth and operational problems associated with fractional growth, they would cut off the 25-hour MarquisJet program in an instant. Instead, the MarquisJet program is growing faster than they ever have.

They have, in the past, stopped sales of cards for the Excel when those got oversold. And in trying to shift the workload, in some instances, a potential card buyer had to accept a certain portion of hours on a 400XP, which isn't oversold...

At recurrent last fall, we were told that Marquis was the engine driving the company at that time, in terms of revenue and growth.

I didn't, but I figure attrition won't be too much higher than the number hired between 11/6 (#2601) and 12/31.

More than 100 have quit to date in 2006. I would expect that number to be higher in 2007.

I keep hearing that 350 will probably retire because they are waiting to
get that extra $16k in their next paycheck.

Ya, could you imagine 350 pilots retire on December 22nd!!!
"Thanks for the money and the silver watch. Merry Christmas, I quit."
There will be a few.


Might be a few more extended days up for grabs.

LOL, too funny.

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?
