4 Captains left at my base in the last few months, quite a few senior F/O's have interviews lined up as we speak (I know one who is undergoing his command upgrade and studying for the EK interview at the same time) and there are quite a few people that I heard of leaving from other bases too.
Phonecalls from crewcontrol asking people to work on days off are more and more common.

begging for higher levels and for shortcuts does not define a professional pilot.
Receiving a letter from management stating that you are at the bottom of the fuel league and that you should review the company SOP's does not define a professional airline.
