Regional Attrition Rates

Our company (ExpressJet) publishes attrition information every month. Between June 7 and July 7, we had 87 pilots leave. This is for CRJ and ERJ combined. Of that, 32 were CAs and 55 were FOs. The top 3 majors that we had people move on to are United, jetBlue and Delta followed closely by USAirways.

Is the company required to publish that by a CBA? Otherwise, I don't know why you would.

"Hey... X people left the company this month for greener pastures. You should think about it..."

Regionals don't have to publish that info for guys to think about leaving.

Our systems chief pilot told our recurrent class one year that pilots with more than five years longevity were 'inefficient'.

No, not required to be published by CBA. The company just decided to put out all these fancy stats and graphs every month.

Not to mention pay someone to collect that data and make those nifty looking graphs! Cool information but is it really necessary?

Can you elaborate that point some more?

I can, the regional model is valued less and less by the bean counters at mainline every year, and as such, pressure is applied to regionals in the way of renegotiated contracts, dirty crap like not paying, and threats from mainline to their partners saying "reduce costs or else!".

Once mainline's seniority lists are renewed with more that 50% "new hires" (though possibly on 6 or 7th year pay scales), regionals will have to be about 1/4-1/3 it's size now.

For the OP: Endeavor loses about 40 or so a month depending. It dipped for a few months but that's changing quickly because of Mesa and Compass.

And then what happens? Assuming ticket prices stay relatively stable, there'll still be stability in the demand for service. Do the mainline carriers take over the regionals business directly?

Thats five to seven years from now... I don't have a crystal ball.

This could all change in 2 years, aviation is more volitile than tech. Endeavor isn't cheap enough without all the 50 seaters gone for Delta. Personally I think ticket prices will go up and more competition will move in but I haven't any skin in the game.

The merger season is just that, a season, I think merger season has about 2 years left, then it's spinoff season, record profit season again, then costs increase, then cost cutting, then merger season again.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

Does anyone have a estimate of attrition rates for each regional, and where he or she is moving onto. Thanks

So how are things going at ExploreJet, the nonexistent company with the nonexistent email addy these days?

Position has been filled by two JCers. Thanks.

How did those two members from this forum that your imagined company hired for the ONE position work out so far? Funny they've been quiet as all get out over your marvelous opportunity. Did you get those three other positions filled too?
