Not sure what the leavers being referred to are meant to say…
I fit the demographic being described by the OP, and left a certain well known airline (maybe the one the OP is at) last year, before compulsory retirement age, as part of a widespread VR campaign….The company wanted as many a****** out of the door ASAP and quite understandably weren’t going to set up an equivalent of speakers corner in Crew Report to let those leaving have their final words..
Like many I’d hardly been a shrinking violet on the Union forum over the years, had stirred things up a bit on the company forum from time to time and tried to be honest about prospects at the company with anybody who I was communicating with by virtue of this place….
Not sure what else could reasonably be said or done…….
