We had a new VP of maint a few years ago tell us the same thing. "Don't like it here? Quit" That started a work slow down. Yes, we took a few casualties, but mainly from the scammers amongst us. We are still here, and the VP was "laterally transferred" to equipment service.
The Aviation Week issue was very good. They even said the evil phrases "Pay" and "Working Conditions". Maybe someone will notice before the house of cards falls down.
