There are no more farewell posts, so there may be too many to cope with. My seniority number keeps climbing.

It matters, if you want to see if people above you are leaving.

The seniority list is by far the best way to go work out the numbers. Check SO friends if you want the true number. I've jumped more than expected in the last two months alone. Just wait for EK to hire the DEC and it'll skyrocket.

Duh - what a rocket scientist you are. I am not talking about a seniority list. My question was if seniority exists anymore in CX? Didn’t you sign it away?

Seniority exists in CX. It’s no use to us. It’s arguable if it’s been any use to us for a long time. But they do update the seniority list regularly, it’s the most current data about departures available to us.

Get a speedy upgrade (especially with all the senior folks being forced to retire early and depart due to these unforeseen circumstances) and then if your passport allows, better doors will open!

Carol, an airline surviving as a fraction of its former size won’t lead to speedier commands, despite the resignations. Probably the opposite.

The mass exodus is faster than the current downsizing. And post covid when travel picks up.

I'm sure people will be streaming in for their 3-week quarantine after reading that BS ad.

Ps. Trying to be positive, but the gov go out of their way to make it miserable for us over here.

Going back to seniority numbers, I checked the seniority number of the last SO on the list on april 23 2021.

He/she was on number 3109, now it is 2848. So that should mean 261 pilots left in the last 138 days.

Yes, and the list presently includes the EUR/NAM basees; of which very, very few will return.

I for one have been foolishly tracking my seniority number for the past number of years (what an idiot thinking i'd ever get an upgrade....but thats another story)
I believe my numbers can provide an insight on the historical and current "retention" rates. (for the lack of a better word)
The numbers are the spots ive moved up for each month
2018
October - 8
November - 9
December - 5
2019
January - 21
February - 15
March - 13
April - 19
May - 20
June - 11
July - 10
August - 13
September - 8
October - 10
November - 11
December - 9
2020
January - 6
February - 2
March - 10
April - 10
May - 13
June - 6
July - 7
August - 10
September - 3
October - 50 (yay pos18)
November - 42
December - 39
2021
January - 32
February - 45
(at this point I gave up tracking each month, but from the beginning of march to the end of july - 240 nope not a typo, two four zero)
August - 38

yeah so those are the numbers, interpret them as you like

There is nothing to interpret. Everybody knows what is going on in this madhouse : some retirements, a lot of resignations and generalised bases closure. I am afraid it does not equate to an improvement of our package or to a reduction in quarantine requirements.
