I don’t know that it’s wholly inaccurate. Captains seem to be leaving in smaller numbers than FOs to me. It may be that a larger portion of captains are close enough to flow to be lazy with the application process or maybe it’s that they are more picky which who they are applying to. But FO’s with a bit of time are leaving this airline in droves.
