Sure, some will. But, unlike being at the regionals and making peanuts, many will begin to find it hard to justify leaving when they are making great money and gaining really good seniority at a growing company. Many will come in with the “this is only temporary attitude”, but many will also be singing a different tune a year or two in. I know I was.
Some will stay. Most will leave unless the contract is on par with the legacies. Most of the people coming from the cadet programs are very young. To stay at a ULCC under current contracts vs going to a legacy will cost them MILLIONS over their career. Not to mention the total lack of operational support relative to the legacies. Why would anyone do that?
