Why would you go some place where this could be the future when there are lots of other places with secure large RJ contracts with already integrated certificates. This is part of the reason why recruiting is down to a trickle.
And also how would you like to sort out your place on the seniority list against gojet and compass if it ever comes down to us losing contracts? Sounds awesome.
