Why it's always 101% of staff when I set to auto hire?

I set auto hire, always.
A game week ago I manual fired some staff out because I have total 101%. Then my airline automatically change to manual hire.
Then I schedule some new aircraft, the warning tell me of staff lacking.
Then I set all department to 100%. and change airlines setting to auto-hire.
I just get back to see my personnel page. It's get 101% again? and only 101% department has staff morale under 100%
Is there any reason behind this? 1% of staff in big airlines can cost a lot a month.

1% doesn't really cost a lot compared to the 100% you hire. It's probably because you made a route then you closed it and possibly opened a new one that requires less staff. (there's plenty more reasons)

Do you know that firing causes you to lose company image?

Thanks.
Yes, I know that. I lost 4% of image caused by firing 23 small aircraft pilot.At that time I change my aircraft type not to use fokker so all small pilot are are vacant. Then I have to fire them out. Any pilot upgrade training feature would be nice. Last time I fire 1% exceed but finally the 1% com back. :'(

The 1% is the "fee" you pay for not having to do it manually.

Be happy it's not 6-7% like it once was.

Since staff salary is somewhere in the realm of 20-40% of your total takings, a 1% fee is hardly game-breaking.  It amounts to somewhere between 0.2% and 0.4% of your total revenue.  Since it's super-easy in the game to make margins WAY north of 10% and as high as 40% giving up a measly 0.2% is hardly going to make a difference.
