Have you ever heard of a little thing called the Lost Decade? "No, what's that?" you say. It was a time during the not too recent past where you could not just pick what major you were going to when you had 2000 hours and a pulse. Between the 2008 recession and retirement age change from 60 to 65, it literally set people's careers back 10 years.
It was not fun.

You a sucka for staying at Skypest.

And by my math, the Lost Decade started in 2008, so the getting didn't get good until 2018, which means it didn't REALLY get good until early 2021. In fact it took the post COVID boom to get me away from that place. I'm glad I left (and I may now be one of SkyWest's biggest critics) and would make the same call all over again, but situations can be complicated and it's not that hard to imagine a scenario where someone would still be there.

I didn't stay, but one leaves when they have a chance. Not everything is cut and dried like that.

It seems like he had a bad taste in his mouth for leaving OO for his mainline job and wished he had stayed, LOL. If I had landed a job at Mainline, I would not even be on the Regional forums at all, but I bet he is getting bashed at the mainline forums and not even getting the time of the day with those mainline pilots LOL.
