Good point, OutsideCAS. We have already seen some good examples of employers being honest with staff and acting in good will and with a long-term outlook rather than opportunistically. Those will be the companies which will be employers of choice in the future. The others will either have to accept their role as stepping stones onto something better or up their game somehow.
Unfortunately, we've still got a way to go until any of that materialises. And, in trying times like today, everyone needs to ask themselves why they are in aviation and what do they expect to get out of it. And some answers to that question might make it obvious for the individual that they're in the wrong walk of life and now is the perfect opportunity to "Rethink, reskill, reboot" without anyone ever asking you why you decided to do it.
