10 year agreements that were signed a couple years ago. Don't kid yourself. There's less security at the regionals... especially now. The industry is changing and the "fee per departure" will be going away along with a buttload of 50 seat RJ's. I wouldn't call that very secure and was one of the reasons I left my 25% seniority at a good regional to move on to Delta. Anything you do in this industry is a risk, but you need to look at all the facts and take calculated risks.
