Although I have to consider my options since we are unsure of the future, leaving will be difficult as the huge cut in pay, benefits and schedules would occur.
Some are at regionals because they're comfortable there. Some got stuck during the recession of 2008 and some just don't interview well. So don't pick on the lifers. Some are probably there no by choice.
I think that everyone here understands this. Just like they understand that it would not be surprising if any current regional went out of business 24 months from now.
It is a gamble. That is all.
