Not saying it doesn't happen, I just haven't seen it.
Guess it depends on what social circles you are in. I have seen several current guys with no skeletons who just got caught with on-file separation/retirement dates before getting a major call (2014-present timeframe).
IMHO, it was a lack of planning on their part. Many of them just didn't understand the long lead time in the industry between application, interview, and class date.
Some of those guys went to go do contract flying overseas, and some of them went to the regionals. Some of them are all ready at a major, some are still at regionals or flying King Airs in far off lands waiting.
