Agree with Tonks and Capt Kirk
I did hear a rumour (this is PPrUNe after all?!!) that the Retention Package was ripped up shortly after the events of 11th September. The powers that be apparantly feel that there is no longer a retention problem!
If this is true, it's another victory for short-term planning and narrow-mindedness. As soon as the airlines turn around there will be an even bigger queue of pilots looking to leave.
Let's hope that they can't be so blinkered?!
