Reminds me of when I was getting out of the Air Force. I was sitting alert and we were the rent-a-crowd for a visiting General to brief. He was asked a question by a navigator wondering if more navigators might be sent to pilot training because they would tend to stay in until they retired. (This was because pilot were exiting the military left and right) The General then said no, there was not a pilot retention problem. He lost complete credibility right then and there.
