Holy Turnover, Batman!! Is that a verified number, or a WAG?

I knew the FA turnover was high, but not that high. Any visibility on if it's movement to other airlines (for presumably better paying and/or better work rules), or "this job isn't for me!," or something else altogether?

I asked this question once before about pilot turnover, and, if that 70% is accurate, I'd say it's even more applicable here: at what point does it become cheaper for the company to pay more / establish better work rules / "make it a better place to work" than to deal with high turnover?? I just don't get it....
