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.

Duvie said it all.
"A bird in hand is worth two in bush". There's no justifiable reason for me to walk away from a fine job now in hopes that I could have a better job in a few years (that is if oil doesn't again hit $150 a barrel sparking more furloughs).
However, if these contracts end, mainline forces the retirement of RJs, or there's some other reason I will
have to get a new job, thanks to the massive retirements over the next 10 years, I'll have no problem doing so.
I think I'll take my chances right here until then.
