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.
Those who went to Eastern, Pan am and TWA took a gamble too. My God what horrible career decisions they made!!! What were they thinking!!! Don't act like you are wiser, safer or luckier than us because you left a regional to go to a start up just because timing was in your favor.
