Just curious as to what the normal rate of pilots EK expect to lose each year?
I've run the the numbers and in the last 4 months, EK have lost 46 pilots. Average that over the course of 12 months and that's 138 pilots a year. Which is roughly
5%.
I know EK says that we are below the norm but I have a hard time believing that losing 130+ pilots (5% of our pilot group) a year is considered norm. Now obviously a few of these are retirements... but lets be honest here, your talking of maybe a handful at best. The rest have simply had enough and moved onto to brighter things.
Any idea what percentage is normal?
Interesting times ahead.... especially with all these aircraft coming. I see staffing issues being a major issue for years to come.
