They are content and they want OUR flying.
Yes, there are those people, but even the ones that have been there 15+ years would love to have mainline grow a pair and take their flying back. The only reason any of those guys want the flying is because of the stagnation that they would be subject to on the bottom of a mainline list. If there was growth by whatever means, they would not care about you taking back your coded flying.
It is all about the context of how the question is asked.
