I haven't talked to a single captain that's been here longer than two years that is even considering leaving.
That's funny, I haven't talked to a single CA who's been here for a year or two who doesn't already have apps out everywhere and will go to any one of the other legacies. Lots of movement in the next couple years. Guys won't be waiting for a 5 year flow. Mainline wide body CAs are being hired now, not 5 years from now.
