If pilots are staying for long carreers, there's a good indicator of the overall QOL.
Same here. We started our flight ops 5 years ago and have had only 1 person leave (went to American) that was also our most "junior" person (35 years old). We knew he was going to leave at some time when we hired him so he left with our blessing and best wishes.
