Big Blue is tone-deaf when it come to retention. The only play they have is offering mediocre money on terms no one wants.

"I want to stay at my base and keep flying. I want to instruct at the schoolhouse. I want a stable life for my family."

"Oh, ok. You want a bonus and want to commit to more ADSC. Well you're not eligible yet."

"No, I just want to stay here and keep flying, I want a stable life for my family."

"Oooooh. Well how 'bout we non'vol you to UPT then. A big, disruptive move will be good for your family."

"Goodbye."

"Well in that case, here's a 6 month non-flying deployment you ungrateful bastard."
