I’m a lour hour pilot and desperate to get into baby. I'm also a senior manager within my organisation and have to concur that you can’t beat experience, and a high turnover of staff is always a problem for us, as the training can take up to 2 months. Now when you add in the cost of all this, I would always try and retain staff. You can’t always count on people moving onto bigger and better things, but you can create an atmosphere within a company to make employees feel valued, listened to and respected. Then again I’ve also come to realise that no matter what you do, you'll always have some moaners for the sake of it and there isn't a company in the world that hasn't got them !
