AxA,
Yep, I guess you're right about that. However, the retention stats appearing in quite a few articles on the subject (and coming from USAF sources) appear to support the allegation that the retention efforts are falling short.
If lifestyle changes are enough to stem the manpower loss, that remains to be seen...if such changes are made or even can be made. A major airline career is a real siren song.
