Some points that may help amend your attitude.
Aircrew are not leaving in their droves...?
Maybe the facts have escaped your attention, then again, given your vast experience of the service maybe you don't know where to look. I commend the (widely available)DASA stats sheet, showing the shortfalls in the flying branches, to your attention.
Secondly, if the Air Force Board think there is a retention problem, isn't it perhaps possible that they have better information than you? Perhaps a look at some of the recent output from PMA would tell you that sustainment of the flying branches requires retention of 60% of aircrew at option points. It would also tell you that actual retention at option points is 40% and that the training system cannot make up the difference.
All of the information is readily available on every station - perhaps you ought to read it before venting your vitriol.
