It's good to hear that your friends are enjoying it over at CA. I wasn't taking a jab, I was just surprised at beeker's comment about their apparently high fo turnover; that's all. And yes, given the only choices of staying in a Q200, or instructing, most people would choose the former. In my case, I'm going back to instructing. And yes, I might be teaching some Indian, or Chinese, kid in a 172 who might be flying an Airbus long before I get there; but, flight time is flight time and I might make more $ than as an rjfo. So, I'm ok with that.
