Considering the original premise of the thread was pilots with 6-7 years service, which by my reckoning, means mid to late twenties, there's much talk about pensions. Do I detect a thread hijack by the next generation?
I'm saddened if it really is true that pilots are clamouring to leave at that point. It's certainly an expensive way to run a business. No airline could ever afford to train someone for such a payback period, and I'm constantly told how short-term their outlook is.
