The same time last year there were 3453 on the list, there are now 3538. So, for the 216 hired, there is only a 85 pilot gain in numbers.
That would indicate a 3.7% attrition rate - including retirements and lost medicals.
Am I getting my math wrong, or does that say that once hired, on average a pilot will remain on EK payroll for 27 years?
