Five Green
As I said, I have no empirical evidence...but I most definitely do not take into account what I read on this site;-)
I know many of our NA brethren are talking about leaving but we will see how many actually leave.
You are correct in your appraisal...it is the europeans and north americans who are the indicators or our industrial happiness. I have spoken to many NA guys recently since I have joined the seniorS fleet and i get the feeling that the attraction of CX is that it is a stable career airline...a little different from the experiences for those from northwest etc.
I don't think 1-2% leaving a year is a problem(20-40). There are wife/ex wife issues, health issues, education issues, etc etc. If we have had upwards of 60 so far then that is 3% already...so maybe 7-8% for the year at that rate! Maybe we will see some serious progress in pay talks!
Hostile, you do your argument no benefit by insulting and slandering. You have a legitimate case...argue it...don't take it personally...don't make it personal.
