Thanks for all the input guys, I really appreciate it.
I've decided to say thanks but no thanks to CHQ because I could not have accepted that position and felt confident that it was a smart decision. If I were sitting in my layover hotel, hating life at RAH, and the only consoling thought I had was "Well it was my only option so I decided to take it," that wouldn't be enough to justify my predicament.
So I'm taking a risk, building time, and pursuing what I believe to be better options.
Fly safe everyone, and thanks again
