Right now if you are a DEC you can write your own ticket at many regionals. That’s simply reality. Without enough non-DEC CAs to run the schedule there aren’t enough CAs to get the FOs up to upgrade eligible before yet more CAs are lost to the majors and the place is in a death spiral. Those either unhireable at a major or willing to trade a few years of seniority at a major for a few more years at a regional can earn - by regional standards - big money. Unless they truly are unhireable by a major, it’s still pennywise pound foolish, but some people have other priorities like locale.
Honest question, what in h€|| has “cool” to do with it?
