When you are leaked a strong rumour from management that as a pilot body from a certain part of the world you will be replaced soon due to the expense of travel (didn't seem to consider calibre of people), it's no wonder members of said group are voting with their feet now and finding good jobs on their terms rather than later when the pressure of dismissal is upon them and you take what you can get to keep the wolves from the door.
The evidence is in the stats that show of the 7 resigned from ACN in last 2 months 5 are from this one particular "ethnic"group (pilots + engineers)- guess their heading home to drink more xxxx (yes we can spell beer you now)
Having said that however ACN are no worse than the others and have a lot of talented and professional people within their ranks - I'll miss those people.
No it's not emotions clouded by the "cold filtered"drop- G'day D###.
