Lifers are lifers because there is no other job right now. Trust me. But there is finally some movement. Do you guys really think that we want to spend our lives at companies which constantly say that survival is dependent upon our taking concessions? (Well, I guess the majors do the same thing.....) I want to go to a legacy carrier too, but right now the road is very narrow and lots of pilots are trying to get there.

If the legacy carrier pilots don't want the constant aircraft expansion at the so-called 'regional' level then it is up to you to stop it, not us.
