For what it's worth, the actually loss averaged 19 per month in the last 12 months, give or take. Not quite 1 per day but pretty dire nonetheless. This does include retirements as well as those looking for greener pastures. Current recruitment is just about reaching the desired numbers but that's without accounting for the departing. With the net requirement for 60-65 new hires per month, (14-16 each week), 20-25% of that resource is walking out the door....and with it often years of experience.

It would be a best guess to say that we may well see our first parked aircraft towards the end of this year.
