The whole point of the regional business model...don't keep employees who become expensive.

Translation: Since people need more money as they acquire spouse, mortgage, kids, cars, etc the regional model cannot tolerate employees with high longevity (ie older)...especially when they insist on modestly comfortable compensation.

But this is great news for a kid with a newly minted aviation science degree and a bad case of SJS!
