Retention bonus means much more money, NYC base, but above all else, not working for Dougweiser and his BS airline segment.

It's obvious AAG is going to continue to play their umpteen tegionals against each other. Just because TSA, PSA, and Compass are the favorites now, doesn't mean they will be later. History has shown Doug wil pee on them too at some point. Why not go work for a major that at least has less regionals to whipsaw, and head for a regional who is just getting done being peed on?

My experience has been that you don't go where the action is hot because it is generally over before you get there. Go where it is about to be hot. A bit of a gamble yes but think about it: the musical chairs game chasing fast upgrades will be over in the next year. Where would you want to be then? My money would be on a wholly owned because that is where the majors will invest to bring aboard new hires, thus the most growth.
