Atp Cliff,
Most of your post is incorrect.
I've just had 6 days off in a row (top bid admittedly).
6 pilots have will have left between 1st May and 31st June. This extrapolates to between 50-60 a year with a pilot workforce of about 2300. Hardly guys leaving in HUGE numbers, but worrying none the less during a downturn in the industry.
