March speed,
How did you arrive at the 4.6% attrition rate?
No doubting the figure but just wondering if it is from inside the company or through your own math.

Ek had always said they budget for 3% attrition, 4.6% would be 50% over that figure.

The guy hired mid jul 2014 has moved up @50, that accounts for cadets that were hired going above him.

Silky, where do you get your numbers from? more pilots last year than now? Are you sure?


About 150 people left over the last year and half...


I'll let you work out the attrition rate.

attrition

I know the current seniority list can be wrong, but it will still tell an average. I've been saving the list at the first of every month for the last two years.

You have to keep the lists every month and compare them. Silky is right that we had more last year. As well, there have been a lot of pilots leaving prior to their 36 months. It's not just the senior guys leaving.

Don't forget Cadet National Service....they are all going. The minimum time away is five months, some for nine.

Thirteen leaving this month, many more on their way. Perfect storm.

Actual figures...

The following numbers show the seniority some pilots had on Jan 9th 2014 and the seniority they have now with the positions they gained:

3500 - 3393 (+107)
3000 - 2895 (+105)
2500 - 2405 (+95)
2000 - 1914 (+86)
1500 - 1427 (+73)
1000 - 950 (+50)

I'm somewhere between 500 and 600 and gained 30ish positions.

We were 3523 pilots and we're now 3777.

Attrition rate is exactly 3%

Don't cadet pilots magically appear on the seniority list some way off the bottom once they are First Officers?

If so, this would increase the attrition rate figures would it not?

TZ.
Last year in apr the most junior guy was 3859.

Check again with those numbers. And if you have apr you will see his staff number and where he is today!

Silky

The last pilot hired in April 14 is now number 3489, if you think that since than 400 pilots left the company than you're the one who should check again...

I stand by what I wrote,

I have a friend of a friend joined July 2014 as of last week he has moved up @ 70 numbers on the list including cadets being added to the list .
I think most cadets are added to the list once they start their TR course. Some joined EK a fees ago.
Just don't exaggerate the numbers .
I think what The Zohan said is fairly accurate .

Yep, I made it 120 spots moved up by the most junior guy in the last year, factor in a few who joined during the year and I would hazard a guess of about 140 in total.

Sent the Zohan the numbers I had for him to decipher. I await his response! No access to the actual numbers as am down route and the web is poor!
