I have come to the conclusion that RAH is a sinking ship. Those who do not see it, cannot, because they would like to stay. They have kids & wives, have already upgraded, and or, are only several years from retirement.

I have been talking to several captains about upgrade times. The ones who are staying say 2-3 years (yeah right!!). The ones who are leaving for China or the majors, say anywhere from 5-10 years.

I know I'm going to jump after less than a year and a half, here, got a couple of corporate gigs thanks to my previous 135 experience (and my current 121 time). Things have changed a lot in the past year and folks just don't see it, either because they have a vested interest in RAH, or are too lazy to think.

And the contract......its a unicorn. By the time they sign that, it will be too late....it already is, as far as I and several of my fellow FOs are concerned.
