Also, just for discussion's sake, I'll comment on your contention that those who tried to avoid RSV CA in 2000 got screwed.... I know about ten Great Lakes guys who went for the quick and dirty upgrade in 2000 hoping to get on with a major quickly. Every one of them is at another regional. Same risk, just another facet of the equation.

I totally agree with getting left seat time, though. Just thought I'd add that some who went for it in 2000 got screwed too, as they could no longer stand the schedules at GLA.
