I have to agree with ShyTorque.
I have seen a number of pilots use police/air ambo as a transition from the military to civvy street. Given a little time and a few contacts they soon find out what else is out there, and what they are paying and they are off. A bit cynical on my part, I know.
But that is the nature of the employment market. If companies keep handing out memo's like: no more single days leave, keep night shift leave to a minimum, can you think about leave for 2005 and paying bottom dollar, then pilots will keep looking elsewhere. When was the last time you picked up a copy of Flight International and started at the front?
Why oh why will company management not learn that it is cheaper to keep the troops happy, than try to recruit and train new ones?
It will be interesting to see what happens when they start recruiting for jigsaw!
