Those with marketable skills will jump ship first. The unemployable clods and those with the political backstabbing skills will stay.
Rubbish. Those that jump ship do, by definition, have marketable skills. Those that stay are not ALL the backstabbers. I still have immense pride in working for QANTAS, just not the current group of bottomfeeders who are running the place. I am staying and if it all comes to an end for me then I will pursue opportunities in other industries. I find your assertion offensive.
