Reality of the market?

Package at CX is good enough that virtually no one leaves. Cx won't raise an eyebrow until at least 7-10% leave. That's 210-300 crew resigning. In the past few years:

BA direct entry F/O - no one leaves
Jetstar direct entry skippers 330 Perth - no one leaves. Aussies from the sandpit grabbed this as fast as they could.
And the every year hundreds of US crew about to head off to US carriers.

We'd be lucky (or unlucky depending on how you look at it) if 1% of total crew resigned this year.

KA offered "dream roster" month on month off and guys couldn't stand being stuck in Australia (or being a month away from Hong Kong?) for a whole month so they came back.

Go figure. Merry Xmas.
