They're churning junior FOs when they bail out to double their pay with a legacy just a few months after finishing OE, which seems like a waste of money. I haven't seen any numbers on what it really costs though, so maybe encouraging folks to quit results in an insignificant hit to their pilot workforce expenses.

Sure would be interesting if a big investor raised the point during an earnings call though. How many FOs and junior CAs quit to go to another airline each quarter, what does that churn cost in real $$$ each quarter, and what would the cost impact of meeting the contract ask be, for those same junior FOs and CAs. They must have that data, they're just not going to tell anyone unless a big investor forces them to.
