That's just how it was back then in a regional shortage shortly before the recession and Age 65 hit back-to-back. Besides as others have been quick to point out, I was not at Endeavor. I was at Pinnacle which has long been gone in name and management so it's not the same company. You are correct it gave the platform and experience to move on and for that I'll always be thankful for Pinnacle.

This is great news for everyone at Endeavor but it does rub other regionals the wrong way when one votes in concessions and then gets bonuses and gloats to be the #1 paying regional.
