I figure each FO has a network of family and friends who are better discussing it with versus me; and simply, it isn’t my business.

2) All I did was instruct and then go to a regional. Also not the case.
3) You’re salty at a situation that won’t be fixed any time soon.
4) Boomer CAs are by far some of the worst people to fly with, not the young folks.

The ones less than 2-ish years that are staying either have a nice side-gig and truly want the work rules, or are on an E3 visa.

1) There’s an underlying assumption that I am somehow a 1500 hour hire at NK. I am not.

Glad I could impress the almighty Bluedriver

"Necessary" GTFO.
It's now the responsibility of the poster to "hold the hands" and to interpret the statement for the reader now? No, no it's not. It's my responsibility to provide them the information they ask for.
People are welcome to use all information they receive to the best of their abilities and make whatever conclusions they want from them. They don't need someone telling them how to think. You should quit and go get a job with the current administration. You'd fit right in.

And when someone questions if that is the best way, you throw a hissy fit.
Take a chill pill buddy.

I take a different approach to it…. I ask “when’s your class date at xxxx <-insert legacy???” I’d say at least 75% of those under 2 years have an interview, waiting on a class, or have an actual class date. My batting average on the right legacy guess is about 66% correct.
The ones less than 2-ish years that are staying either have a nice side-gig and truly want the work rules, or are on an E3 visa.

I don’t ask the FO’s I fly with if they are leaving, it’s none of my business what they do career-wise outside of my flight deck. If they want to talk about it, cool, but think it also sets a bad tone when those who want to be here to start out the banter that way. That being said, my anecdotal experience over the past several months is that fewer guys are proudly chirping about the interview or class date they have at a legacy, and more talk about how happy they are here. I haven’t flown with an FO who has told me they planned to leave in several months. We’ve both flown with equally small slices of the pie, so it’s tough to extrapolate that out to a general junior FO sentiment.

Giving up a lineholder slot anywhere has costs. Giving up a senior lineholder slot at NK - while it will pay off in the long run (at least if you are young enough) - is more difficult. I don’t think we actually lose many senior FOs or lineholding CAs. The bulk of the attrition seems to come in the first 1-2 years.
