Now many RJ guys will do that after 10 years and how many will be B777 captains?

True but how common are those 200k corporate jobs? And how many of these jobs would hire you with 0 turbine time? Anyway, I think the points have been made. The whole subsidy/ME carriers is a very emotional subject for a lot of guys and I'm gonna bow out of this thread.
