Among the myriad of reasons pilots are getting out, I also think many of us have simply "lost faith" in the mission. They see very little value to the purpose of their deployment/additional duty/training task. Aside from tasks having direct correlation to their primary job, everything else is seen as a hindrance.
Asshats like the general who made this comment only furthers the resolve. Take a quick look at this guy's biography. He hasn't been in an operational squadron in 20 years. I argue he would is out of touch.
I'd be very surprised if the airlines agree to help bail the Air Force out of a problem the AIR FORCE created due to gross mismanagement, self serving middle managers and the PC culture decimating mission effectiveness. The Air Force was paying guys (and kicking guys out early) to leave just 3 years ago. I sincerely hope the airlines tell the Air Force to pound sand and that they will continue to "poach" their pilots.
Just out of curiosity, what could the generals do to help the airlines out wrt to mil leave and what could the airlines possibly offer in return?
