I don't blame anyone for sticking around, its tough to find a job. But its the reason a lot of the airlines with the better contracts are finding themselves unable to compete with GoJets, Silver and the like. Majors want the cheapest bidder, not the regional airline with lots of guys at the top of the pay scale.
