You can't turn down higher paying jobs waiting for a phone call that may never come. A mainline pilot shouldn't take offense to that. From a regional guys point of view, I am subsidizing your higher pay and better QOL, AND you want me to turn down a job flying a 787 that pays a lot more than I make now? Tell you what, give me a class date, or go fly a kite.
And for the record, I have absolutely no plans of doing that job.
