So basically by sticking around I would have been stagnating my career progression instead of helping it along.

I’m done. Flew my last trip. Off to an LCC. It’s too bad, it wouldn’t have taken a whole lot to keep me around but it seems clear that they don’t really care to put the effort into making it better. The response from management was essentially nada.
