I think legacies are really suspicious of any Mesa CA who has been here longer than they should have been.
I can think of eleven people off the top of my head who have gone to Delta, SWA, United or AA within the past two years. More if you include JB. All captains. Yes, those who have been around a while tend to stay here, some by choice, but I'm not necessarily talking about the super seniors - a few of whom have headed to Atlas, Spirit, ATI, etc. recently.
This career is a lottery. I've stopped comparing my career movement to others'. Anyone who thinks they "achieved" a legacy job through hard work is delusional. The job simply happened, just as it didn't for many equally qualified others.
