Again, a sad but obvious consequence of what has happened to our profession in terms of loyalty. Many have said that it matters no more what is painted on the side of an aeroplane. Be loyal to your licence and regulatory authority, Start to develop "old school" values of "belonging" and you will get hurt. Welcome to commercial aviation in the 21st century. Would unaware CP's stop asking at selection interviews the daft and currently inappropriate question ; " How long do you expect to remain with us ?" For the UK, no point in bemoaning the glory days I know, but , At school. working on school certs that my National Airline recommended for it's Cadet scheme, I achieved that, looked forward to fully sponsored pilot training costing me nothing I then looked forward to repaying, with gratitude , a long career with that airline. Cripes, welcome to the real world. Awful.
