This argument cracks me up. I know, it's a stretch to think that if people were paid better and had better working conditions they might ACTUALLY stick around.
I know it does, and it says a LOT about the folks who do it. They screw someone else out of a slot, and then walk away from it. So who does it end up hurting? CAL's bottom line, which affects my pay in the long run....so in essence they are screwing all the other pilots too. If their was a consequence for their action, I think they'd think twice about it. Maybe CAL keeps the entry pay and benefits low because of pilots who do this. Why invest a lot of money in someone who isn't really serious about staying? ALL the newhires KNOW what the pay and benefits are when they start training. If they don't like them, then for God's sake, don't accept the job. But I have to believe those who leave knew darn good and well BEFOREHAND that they were going to leave, since they have to let the airline they are going to know they are coming to work. This type of deception doesn't say much for the pilots who do it, does it? Originally Posted by dojetdriver
