Yeah... The training costs sound like a big deal to us but to them I'm sure they're not. Add in the fact that a new hire gets $75 an hour and a 50 hour guarantee and I'm sure it's not that big of a deal at all.
In reality, the only way that I think they'll be concerned about attrition will be if they can't move airplanes. I bet it is a concern if they have contracts out there that they can't fill because they know they can't grow our pilot group too...
