Exactly most of the lifers at Mesaba already passed on the chance to go to Northwest. At only 3+ years here I'd be a fool to not take a staple job seing how it'd be 3+ more at full speed flow for me to get to NWA ( not going to happen obviously now that NWA stopped hiring) plus a staple instantly puts 600 (just Mesaba) junior to me. That's by far better than anything else I could ever hope for in getting to a major.... It won't be much longer here and I'd have to be a lifer too based on where I am compared to where I could end up.
