flight risk
Likely to flee
Flight risk describes someone likely to flee—originally a legal term for defendants who might skip bail or fail to appear in court.
Judges assess flight risk when setting bail: The prosecutor argued he was a flight risk due to his overseas assets.
In workplace slang, a flight risk is an employee likely to quit: She's been interviewing elsewhere—definitely a flight risk.
