Not a single one of those 20 year captains are here because they can't move on. There's plenty of lifers-against-their-own-will at other regionals though.

Predictions go out the window when things like 9/11 happen. How exactly are you preparing for that?
The "best" regionals today used to be the worst only a few years ago. And if something like 9/11 was to happen again, there will be no hiring/movement to any of the majors. And if you think Republic/Endeavor will keep their pay and work rules through those times, well, would you be interested in a bridge I've got to sell...?
