You leave a job fully qualified to fill the IMMEDIATE industry wide vacancies (change of domicile possible!), and worst case scenario is you have to replace a $40k a year job. Best case.... mainline starts moving some of that money they are saving from all those expensive guys retiring, and pays retention and improves existing contracts for everyone....
Just a thought.
Why more than a year? What's to lose at less than a year given two weeks notice. Can go to another regional without a problem or just explain to the next non-aviation employer that $500 bucks a week barely pays my electricity bill in TX in August, let alone my mortgage.
