Seems to me that its a managerial decision to not hold onto those routes. I get the impression mgmt. is trying to move business out of the northwest and into the northeast, apparently thats where a lot of them are from. I also feel pretty confident about the situation since their fleet will be doubling in the next year. Yup im taking the first 121 gig offered to me, and yup im planning on the quick upgrade and gettin out ASAP and it could all backfire in my face. At least at that point ill be a little better qualified to make a lateral move if need be.

So while I agree my opinion should come with nothing more than a grain of salt being that I am, as you put it "172 driver", understand that perhaps I know a few people who arent just "172 drivers" and they give me their opinion on the situation on top of the fact that these forums would allow someone to completely educate themselves on the whole situation
