I respectfully disagree. Base closures are a negative thing causing pilots to leave to avoid cross-country commutes. There's a lot of drama on the local ALPA level that isn't exactly encouraging people to stay. A shrinking fleet means minimal upward movement and possibly displacements from captain, driving people away. I know there are no furloughs or downgrades right now, but I'd argue there are many other negative things going on there that are causing unnatural attrition, not the least of which is the toxic relationship with AAG.
