Numero and Buzz:
You maths/sums are usually so much more acurate .
If (and I state categorically that this is based on rumour only) the rumours are true and 60 odd have left since January, then the current year's resignation rate would be closer to 3%, with 7 months to go !! Granted historically you are correct at 1-2%
So what percentage of resignations is considered an indication of good work place or bad ? Well I think that you have to take into account the opportunities and backgrounds of the pilot pool. In our case we hire from countries where the home grown aviation is poor i.e. Aus S.Africa and Canada (sorrry gents). That means that less of the work force will leave immediately when things get difficult. If we look at the European and American segment of the pilot pool then the percentage is very high indeed. In fact so high that it is IMHO an indicator of unhappy work force. It should also be an indicator that drinks and dinner in the ANC bar are not enough, and Swire need to start holding upper management accountable. This all coming on the eve of further rapid expansion. A time that should offer pilots great leaps in career expectations and yet people are leaving. Makes you wonder........
Buzz Box: I think you need to read how your answers play out in the thread. It certainly seemed to me that you were insinuating that the 49ers acted stupid.
