I have a feeling that my #1 and #2 reasons are why they aren't moving. Yes, I'm a few down the list from them and it would be nice to see them move! I was always told "DON'T PASS UP AN UPGRADE". You never know whey things will turn around and you wished you would have.
I'm not looking to argue or get anyone's panties up in a bunch. I don't know any of the top guys on the list so I was hoping to get an answer from some of them on here. Can you enlighten me???
I'm guessing several are holding out for 900 Captain. Though there was one that was awarded D9C but then changed his mind and declined the class when his bypass was up, so who knows.
