So maybe I want to spend the rest of my days at a regional, I still agree with the General. Short term, yeah it might suck to have no movement at SkyWest, but long term, guys above me will move on and I will move up. Eventually, I might even be number one in the company. That's not going to happen right now, not even with the current rates of retirement. You see, that is the General's point, and really it's everyone else's as well. The fact is movement IS good, and, in the long run, it doesn't really matter where the movement happens. The end result is everyone in the workforce "moves up". The thing about mainline is, once all the furloughs are back in a seat, their hiring will pick up and cause some serious movement in SENIOR regional ranks. Either way, regionals get new jets or mainline gets new jets, I am going to eventually move up at my current carrier. I've been furloughed, it freaking sucks, and seeing some guys get a seat back is a GOOD thing...for the WHOLE industry. Especially since either way the regionals are going to see movement(from expansion on property or hiring due to expansion at mainline). Not that anyone cares....
