This mentality doesn’t stop at the regionals. Guys at legacies have it too for some reason. Getting your time and getting out is a nice sentiment, until the person stuck holding the bag in a downturn is you. Or worse, bombing your first big interview awaiting another call. The problem with your thinking is betting on best case scenario. I’m a plan for the worst kinda guy, and I also think about the people after me who haven’t been hired yet. It’s a regional contract that God only knows when will get done again. You want to take marginal gains without seeing the whole TA and a few extra bucks only to STILL be at the bottom in nearly every facet of money and QOL within a FFD contract. Short sighted thinking.
