I was told recently by management that they project an attrition rate of 10% per year, however so far it has been about 5%. Looking at the lists, there are currently about 494 pilots in EAA and SSA. So the company are projecting an attrition rate of 25 pilots per year.
The additional aircraft that is coming in the middle of the year will adds another 10. All up, my guess would be 35 pilots minimum. This can all change when the major starts recruiting.
