People will come but they won't stay.
Plenty of folks back at the (west coast) regional who would kill for a job at AS. If I spent the morning on the phone I could probably get a 100 volunteers to start in two weeks. Would they stay? Depends on growth(merger?), age, family, competitiveness, and opportunity.
