Take that for what it’s worth.
also they could take the job and bail if a regional called. Any idea on how long the contract is? A supermid size type rating like that has some value. Especially if they found themselves on the street from a regional one day. I’d have to find myself pretty confident a regional was going to hire me if I were going to turn down an offer like that.
