Nearly all the FO's and SO's i've flown with in the past 24 months have indicated a desire to be somewhere else. And when I say "nearly all", I mean that specifically. Another sign of an abjectly failed management.
And a year or so ago 92% of AOA members said they were looking elsewhere. CX pilots talk the talk and bitch and moan with the best of them but they don’t walk the walk.
The fact is for all the “everyone I flew with is leaving” the numbers actually going are tiny. Yes it might have shot up a bit late last year and earlier this year but now it’s back where it’s been for the last 20 years.
No surprise the company isn’t offering much in the pay talks.
