Doc, it's not the 'financial stress' that I put on the company for leaving but the one that comes after me as alot of other pilots leave. At $25k per jet initial course, if 8 pilots leave an organization then they are out $200k. This will impact their bottom line and cause shareholders to worry if not outright bail. In the long run it will put stress on the company. Most entry level jobs in aviation are run on a small budget. If they all quit because as you say they have 'NO business being IN business' then good luck to all the pilots out there getting the time required for a good job. I think that most all the civilian pilots out there have worked for small, tightly run companies at least once in their career. They've gained much needed experience and have moved on. That is the nature of the business. The businesses know this and the pilots do too. Both go in with their eyes wide open.Doc wrote:If you leaving will put "financial stress" on a company, then that company has NO business being IN business in the first place!

Bonds will continue as long as there is an ample supply of suckers willing to work for these companies. The companies can only blame themselves for the mess caused by treating pilots like dirt.If they treated applicants with respect and spent a little more time getting to know them,then maybe,they would hire the most suitable people for the job.
Whenever times are good companies panic and hire a given number of warm bodies to fill pilot seats. Pilots know that they have to get their butts in the best seat while the music is still playing.
