G7 owns/leases half of the A/C it operates. That means G7 only controls it's destiny by small margins. Momma Delta at G7 in all reality controls your (new hire, upgrade) fate.
Some guys can chime in to what happened at TSA/Eagle back in 07 when the 145s went back to Eagle and alot of people were furloughed.

So think for a minute or two and imagine... Here you are 2yrs down the road and momma Delta moves some of those assets around and at G7 a reduction of flying.

What type of QOL are you going to have?
How easy will it be with 1200ish turbine time to just jump ship, start all over again $20ish an hour, RSV living/sitting.
Do your homework from here on out about pay, work rules, RSV obligations.
I think if anyone really takes a look at the 30page contract and asks about some of the terrible TAs that have been shoved down the pilots throats you will be shocked.
Oh and BTW most all of the guys now by far have enough time to upgrade...management is just dangling a rotten carrot to new hires with yet another mirage. One is the bonus another is 24months you can be an airline captain...hmmm
