The comment was more directed to the newbies you always see around. Talking about how they don't want to fly a turboprop, gotta get in the biggest new jet with the quickest upgrade (lol, if they only knew how quick that changes), they don't care about the contracts etc.. Their questions are always something like: can I get the 170 or the CRJ7/9, I don't want the turboprop, how long is reserve, what is the upgrade time.. the end. Nothing else matters to them. Pay sucks, contract sucks.. they don't care.
I agree that there are extenuating circumstances that may make some choose that path. Having a domicile in your home town for example would be a big one.. or being furloughed, trying to stay current etc.. other than that.. not much.
