It isn't a trickle anymore!!!! Every month a solid 8 to 10 senior pilots will be leaving to the different airlines that are hiring now. At least 100 to 150 have been interviewd, accepted, and are just waiting for the class dates. The interesting fact is now that no matter what the new CA will promise, and no matter what the new salaries might be, these guys have had enough and are leaving. As I said before they are voting with their feet, and leave in big numbers. Where last year a lot of people were very secretive about their future plans, it's now all in the open. Very soon SIA will be very short of crews again. If the pilots would manage their jobs the way HR managed over the last ten years we would see a hull loss every month!!!
