For some people this is really not the case. Not everybody wants or needs to leave their regional.
Also, I think most of the active regional pilots of APC are looking to move on. So we are not going to hear from regional lifers much in the first place. Speaking for myself, APC is an easy *part* of keeping up with the news of the industry. When/if I find myself in a career destination, I will likely visit less. Then I'll probably be haranguing folks on some GA forum about flying my own (yet to be purchased) airplane; "My annual cost way too much, my wife won't let me fly, I replaced another cylinder, I think it would be cheaper renting!". Then finally, " Anyone wanna buy a '75 Skyhawk at a good price??"
Ahhh, dreams.
