Add a quick upgrade to build PIC time at many regionals and the choice gets even more clear.

After a new contract, F9 would probably be a great place to work whether long term or just as the next step in a long airline career. Right now I can't see any benefit, and many many drawbacks. I feel very lucky that F9 is not my "only option", and I really hope anyone who feels trapped can figure out something better because the F9 pilots really do deserve better than they're getting.
