I keep hearing this. The attrition list to be published in Feb will show the real story. A majority of the FO attrition in the Aug list were guys with retirements in 2050-2058! Of course guys in their 20s will leave for the big 3. That’s a no brainer. They’ll make up the < 3 yr longevity loss at AS with the fact they have 35+ yrs at one of the big 3.
