Every regional has its share of lifers...and the currently growing airlines aren't exempt from that. That is what large jet equipment (146 at AWAC, Avro at Mesaba, CR7 at ASA/Comair/Eagle) and a requisite higher pay rate will create.

I've no doubt that with every additional 175 RAH takes delivery of Bedford is gaining at least 3 lifers..if I were 31, had 7-8 years longevity putting me into the top 10% of the pilot group and and was flying the largest and highest paying airframe available, I know I'd be tempted to stay put too!

As for the fellow who said he would put X-jet at the top, you obviously do not read very well. I said in NO paticular order.
