If new hires are bailing to Endeaver because of base selection and not pay, our recruiting department needs to do a better job sniffing people out. If I was AA, I would blacklist pilots that made lateral moves from wholly owns within the first year of employment. Tell the applicant up front too, sounds reasonable.
