It was all the people who need fast upgrades, and expect to move on soon.

There's lifers who admit it and easily 3x-4x as many who might say they want out but will never do anything about it. A huge percentage of our pilot group does not have a 4 year degree.

And even if they are not lifers, they have worked here long enough that they will benefit from the boost in 401k.

Why is this a question you are consistently asking? It is none of your or anyone elses business. You're going to be a real joy when you get to a major and tell us all about where you had apps in while we try to read or hit on the lead.
