What do you care where one decides to stay?
Eagle, XJT, Skywest, all same airplanes and relatively same route structure. A regional is a regional.
Eagle may be most stable regional, but has the least movement of all the regionals.
I support any pilot who decides to stay put at a regional. They have their reasons (seniority, pay, live-in-domicile, etc).
