I had planned on staying for the long haul, but saw the writing on the wall and didn't care to keep sliding backward in seniority as junior pilots bailed.
FWIW, I flew an airplane the other day that had been the test ship for LPV, only realized by looking back in the logbook. They did some test flying with it in the experimental category, so it's at least progressing to the point that it's flown now. Don't know any more than that at this point.
