I think I would prefer ambitious, intelligent, competent employees in most instances over those that were merely loyal. Oops maybe I don't agree but I thought I did for a moment

This implies somebody hearing about the deal and actively looking for a job just so they can take the deal. What you talk about is different--That's something that I think most people do--they keep their skills up to date, and don't throw away opportunity if it comes their way.
Would you really want someone working for you who was
actively looking for a new job?
