An FO with 10 spots left to the left seat resigned yesterday.

On the FO the 'mass exodus' has begun. EY is interviewing over 60 in June alone. I have spoken with at least 9 330/340 captains who are leaving and these are just the ones I know.

The trick will be to see how fast they leave!! If pilots leave over a one year period then I would think the co. could handle it with OT, new hires and buying leave. If these pilots leave in 6 months or less then there will be shortages. Again, depending on the Fall sked they may be able to handle it with OT etc but it would be dicey.
