All the shell-shifting only amplifies my initial IDEALISTIC thread opener. Stay put, let the system crumble, and then reap the rewards when mainlines get a regional dose of epic fail. Some of you will bash me with, "oh yea, what about when 9E closes or when ENV operates their last flight?" And I think, as long as you don't chase tails, the doors will not close.
In addition to my moronic IDEALISM, some put it, those who have gotten screwed over, to only chase your former aircraft to its new operator, (i.e. ENV to PSA, XJT to TSA or PDT, 9E to well, pretty much all others) you are directly subsidizing, well not even that; you are paying for your own pay cuts, etc..
Oh by the way, who's got the quick upgrades so I can apply today?
