We will still have attrition, but we haven't seen that level of attrition yet. I'd guess with a new CBA our attrition will come down some, but if you lived in a legacy base with their quick upgrades....it's hard to beat even if a topped out CA makes $400/tfp
True statement, though I think we'll see 0 turbine time people coming to us via D225 though.
But you're right... the math of staying here currently just doesn't make much sense if you're on the bottom of the seniority list, or even if you're a commuter.
