From the wash up recently. Attrition at 1.9% - higher than normal but still with the industry average. HR's words.

Not many leaving at the moment - and it is a mugs game to make predictions - but no doubt many interviewing at China Southern and many watching.

I think many are just staying on the 777 to keep options open. No intent to leave tomorrow but want the possibility to do so.

The figure is actually 49 "volunteered" to leave the 777 fold. Half of them are FOs who think you "have to be in it to win it".

Apparently a lot of capts changed their mind after discovering you need to be current on 777 if you want a job on it elsewhere which many people do seem to want.


PS: if you believe anything those embittered slags from HR have to say at a management meeting then let me introduce you to Ahmed, my cockney english finance friend at Devere and Co, he has some great funds to sell you.

How credible are your figures???

I would have thought that more were applying .... If the skippers number is in the high 20ies only, does that mean some guys will be forced?

Gloie,


There are no FOs on the list. I am not sure of the numbers, but a fella who has applied was told that there were plenty.






The don

Thanks, don.

Not sure it's a done deal yet. He was told it would start next Apr, and could be up to 75 Capts, if it goes ahead.

Who knows?
