I do know there are very experienced people who want to work at F9, and that there are many of those people getting hired, and on the flip side - many who can't get the call for some reason. My post was mostly regarding those who don't really want to stay. Why would they leave an RJ captain position to start all over if their goal isn't to be there for the long term? I didn't mean, "why would any RJ captain" want to go.
