I looked at our list and it looks like in the last year (since July 2016) 12 first year new hires have resigned and a total (including the 12) of 18 new hires since 2014 resigned. So not nearly 100. There were 163 resignations out of the entire list, mostly those were guys who were furloughed and didn't elect to return after the SLI.
Oddly enough, while researching this, I found out a buddy of mine who was hired this spring, resigned on his first day of ground school. Not for another legacy, just said it wasn't for him. I couldn't believe it, as he hadn't even experienced the job before coming to this conclusion...
