The turnover rate among new-hires at ABX says different. The turnover rate is so high that the last captain upgrade had been here only 18 months and we are rapidly running out of people who are both willing and able to upgrade.

The advice about going to somewhere you want to be for a few years is solid, though. The longer this airline hiring spree goes on, the greater the chance that there will be an event that causes hiring to stop for an extended period. So I would not encourage anyone to go somewhere like ABX if you don't like the thought of doing that kind of work for several years. I don't think it's nearly as bad as some like to say it is, but then I also spent many happy years in a job that has been described as a job that no normal person will do, so I'm kinda weird that way.
