But youre home every night and I know companies like AMF and ACC are starting at 30k+. ACC at 40k+. I don't it just seems like there should be another way around the regional system. Do you expect any new contracts after 2012?

How many regional captains that have been doing it for 10+ years can't afford the jump to the majors. You risk furlough, being on reserve, 50k less for the first year etc. Part of me wonders if there will be more movement in the majors than in the regionals
