I keep asking myself the same question. I am still 80 away from the most jr CA.

There is a reason I know about the other regionals contracts and bonuses right now. I am looking at the lateral move myself, but 9 years is a lot to throw away.

I just don't see a reason to stay at XJT right now with them parking 2 -3 planes a month and having to get rid of 600 pilots in the next year due to loss of planes. I don't see an upgrade anytime in the future.

The OP was probably told a bunch of crap, like he would be upgrading in 4 years from now. I hope he runs as fast as he can and I will be right behind him.
