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.
And that's exactly what you're doing. Thats what I did. Anybody who stays or goes is taking a risk. No one is any more safe or secure by staying at a regional. Look at ACA/Indy, Comair, Mesa, etc. It can end anywhere, anytime. It's unlikely oil will hit $147 a barrel again as speculation has been made illegal.
