Its a morale issue, but I guess you could call it a moral issue as well.
A lot have gone to Pac Blue, walked away from commands, taken a pay cut and have had to shift bases as a result. Loud and clear message there that the JC management just don't seem get. Its a spiraling situation that has almost gone past the critical stage. There are more with interviews as we speak.
With the current pilot shortage you can understand the turboprop operators getting raped and pillaged. A tragic thing really as many of them are good sound operations that pay fairly well. This is mainly because many aspire to fly jets. However the current pilot shortage is also revealing the 'below par' jet operators as people move on to seek better conditions.
