For the most part PSA, PDT and Envoy mgt have found a workable solution for predictable CA attrition. I'm sure you can partially vouch for this but your list of realistic choices outside of waiting for the flow was probably pretty short as time went on. Regardless of which WO you can predict CA attrition within a couple of bodies each month. FOs are a whole different animal. They don't have enough invested to be either loyal or enamored by some of the side benefits that do come with WO airlines. At this stage in the game they are rightfully money driven. Watching AAG nickel their way towards endeavor and republic levels is painful but will eventually happen.
In the end AAG will get their metered attrition at the top but it'll cost them some coin to stop the uncontrollable churn on the bottom. When that happens is the question.
