This is normal and expected in any change of any real significants. The
problem is that most managers don't realize and don't plan for this. I
also wonder if people who sign these mandates get any estimates of
productivity loss, schedule impacts, decrease of quality, etc., etc. This
is usually called a cost estimate.

If we transitioned pilots to new aircraft the way we transition programmers
to new technology, we wouldn't have very many pilots left.
