Part of the things they're doing keep attrition down is to allow 7/7 after training (IOE Complete) for those who want it. Doesn't always happen thou. This just started a few weeks ago. Very small baby steps for now, probably won't stop the race to the exit. They're going to add a duty type where you're on call at the hotel just for the purpose of getting the next day brief, no obligation for flight duty. They also shortened the drinking rule from 12 to 10 hours and will start allowing Crewmembers to take their families on ferry flights. With all the schedule changes not a reliable way to travel but it is pretty cool if you can snag a Global or Gulfstream for the wife and kids to ride on.

We just had a 18 year Captain in his mid-40's leave for a Cargo Job. Should see the latest attrition numbers in about a week.
