For sure a minority amount will not stay long term. Getting some TPIC in Metro or 1900 is going to help keep people around. A lot depends on the company too, Of course. Crew apartments and cars help a ton. Having a Monday or Friday off is nice too. It’s the dirt bag 135s that have crew waiting all day in the lounge that will see the most hurt.
