I think that the turnover rate is probably due to the poor pay scales. Also, mgt is placing more and more demands on the jobs... but not compensating those who deliver.
Some jobs are entry level that is just they way it is and no all jobs should not pay a "living wage" whatever the hell that is. They should pay what the market will bear. If they do not pay enough you won't do the job. Look at all the 20-30 year plus people here, obviously the airline does pay enough.
Entry level, say like a pilot? Or a mechanic? All jobs or careers have entry level. A living wage is what aperson can get by on. So why are CS and FS any different? Why would any job be any different? I think you think your better than others, thus making you a snob.

This is the same loser who made the following comment about the coming layoffs in Indy:
<<<Hey if it keeps us 99.99%ers still employed that is what it is all about, right?>>>

Personally, I think up is one of the many cubicle dwellers in the Sandcastle who see their job shuffling papers and getting coffee as oh so important that they're irreplaceable, unlike others who he dismisses as "menial labor".

If you're going to toss epithets around, at least learn to spell them. Otherwise, you look like a buffoon.
My guess is your browser can pull up Dictionary.com just as well as everybody else's.

I believe a baffoon is a cross breed of a buffoon and baboon.
another pilot, or a school teacher?
Thanks dog, sorry if my spelling offended.

Elitist much? Since you seem to be the authority, what should a "sane/capable" person aspire to? Some of the most sane, capable, respectable, and educated people I've ever met I've worked the ramp with. People make careers, careers don't make people.
And who decides what the market bears in this case? Certainly not the market. The airline decides because it both sets the price for the commodity (labor) and is its sole consumer. Therefore, the airline will pay the absolute least it has to (minimum wage), regardless of what the turnover rate is, so long as there are suckers still lining up to fill out applications. This was basically the mentality Mesa airlines took to staffing, and it was one of contributors to their consistently poor performance and reputation.
People are constantly discounting the value of seniority and experience. Taking inexperienced people, paying them minimum wage, telling them that they have no long-term prospects for employment, and then chucking them into the front line meat grinder might really make the bottom look swell by reducing labor costs, but it's a spectacularly sh*tty way to run an airline. Just ask Ornstein.

Just someone who can spell at least as well as a third grader.
OK OK you got me. You spell better than me. Is that why you go on this site to pick on the typos. Thank you for finding my errors. I guess that makes you better than me. Merry Christmas
