I disagree with your forcast, today is a completely different day and age. Those at SkyWest who are 10 years in the right seat are there by choice and the next 5 years will look nothing like the last so basing your opinion upon the last 5 is seriously flawed. Mark my words, RJ upgrades come 2015 will be less than 3 years and EMB with be less than 1.5 years..... and falling.

But as far the 4.5 year guy at 9E/XJ, stay put! Mainline’s about to start hiring and you’ll be just fine.
