Higney85, that's the point. Do not let the golden handcuffs tie you down. Now if a RJ Captain wants to stay voluntarily for 10 or 15+ years because of QOL and schedules, pay, then fine. But do not disguise this as "wasn't able to leave through no fault of his own.". It means he did have opportunity to leave when majors were hiring but he elected to stay to enjoy their RJ Captain pay/QOL/schedules. In essence, they took a gamble. Now it seems 9E will be the next Comair.
