Actually, that's not true. I know of one who left. Ex-Skywest. Didn't care for the Union. Was unhappy with the length of the projected upgrade. Then, when an AS Captain started hitting on his AS F/A wife, he pulled chocks and went to VX for the quick upgrade.

I heard he ended up as a Check Airman over there as well. Looks like he's right back where he started from only WAY more senior after the SLI than he would have been if the VX plan is adopted.
