We're not sticking around, we're f'ing stuck. Upgrade wasn't 7 years when most of us started. Now most of us have too much invested just to start over again at another regional. Keep in mind that who ever has a super quick upgrade today might be stagnant next year. It would suck if you bailed from one regional to go to the bottom of another and then the music stops. I've been at XJT for 5.5 years, finally getting real real close to upgrade. I'd love to leave, and I will at the first opportunity, but unfortunately I'm stuck for now. 5500tt with no tpic won't get you very far.
