I would think this is good biz for OO because they can say they send xx number of pilots to the majors.
Not to mention, many mil pilots bring their vast experience and professionalism to the flight deck and to the company - which isn't a bad thing.
They probably have to stay 3-4 years to make it worth the cost of training. SKW might willingly hire them on the assumption that maybe one third will stick around due to preference or circumstance.
