How many pilots

[BeechScrub]

Very little attrition. One indoc per month of about 20. Think they're targeting 240/yr for the next two.

I started on 5/7 and somehow I've gained 10 numbers since then.

Sounds like a few more bid periods and you'll be upgraded...

 

[Ultra Grump]

In 2006, first class was Jan 3rd (2143), last class of 2006 was Dec 4th (2543). Gain of 400.

In 2007, up to 2673, as of June 23rd. (2544-2673) +129 gain.

These numbers are on par for 250 newhires for 2007.

Approx 20 per class, 1 class per month.

These numbers, from the company published seniority list.

On the 1/22/07 seniority list, the last guy hired in 2006 was #2594. On the 6/14/07 list, the last guy is #2673. So I was mistaken, we have a net gain of 79 for the year (not 129, skiandsurf).

As I looked at the numbers, we hired 129 this year. Not counting those that left.

I forget who keeps saying it??? Ultra grump or fozzy? Upgrade time is 5 years. With hiring slowing down so much, I wonder if not longer.
Damn!

Hoppy,

Archie!!! What up my man?
I may have to call on you for a recommend letter for good ole'
brown. (just kidding). Who knows when upgrade will be? Seems like
they went from hiring 350 this year down to 240. Dang it. Life is still
good here otherwise. How's life at UPS?
