If you are using a number for the amount of people being hired with a total number of people leaving (overall), that's where there the percentage is askew. I would want to know for all of the new hires (those still under a year seniority), how many of those have left within that same time period of within one year. That may paint a different picture as to is this place an intermediary stop before going to the legacy carriers (or SWA). JMHO
