With the rumoured recruitment about to take place over the next few years those without seniority are going to have it very soon.
Whenever there has been a pause in recruitment in recent decades there generally isn’t a mass abandonment of the company. There’s few things more desired than a number on the mainline seniority list. Sure some will take LWOP, but very few will bite the bullet and resign for good to venture into other pastures. I’d estimate less than 1% of the total pilot group have resigned prematurely in the last 20 years to take up another career, whether it be in aviation or out.
