Does anyone have the real numbers of upgrades this year on the 777. Ive heard 30 to 40 for the year and we are half way through. I also here that 2015 might be a bit better for the 777 and may ever be more on the 330.
First of all the financial year starts on the 1st of April. So we're only three months in and the number of upgrades on the 777 stands at 45 upgrades for the year (Compared to ~600 new hires for the year 2011), thanks to Airbus' inability to build proper doors.
Everything beyond that is speculation.
When it comes to attrition, anything between 2-5% is considered normal. Monitoring my relative position in the seniority list I'm coming in at the low end of that. FWIW.
