Indeed I was being a smartass...kind of. There are some real freaks and deviants flying around there that simply can't get out for one reason or another. I'd say the majority cut and run at a few seemingly predetermined points.
1. They log some time in the Chieftain, bail to the regionals (me).
2. They log some time in the Chieftain, upgrade to the 99, get a little bit of time and bail to a charter/fractional gig (lots of guys).
3. They get some time in the Chieftain, upgrade to the 99, upgrade to the Metro/1900 and then move onto a national (a few guys).
4. They get some time in the Chieftain, upgrade to the 99, gear up a 99, and are either fired or never leave because they can't find another job.
5. They get some time in the Chieftain, upgrade to the 99, upgrade to the 1900, upgrade to the Metro, do whatever management would like them to do, and eventually become management.
6. They get some time in the Chieftain, upgrade to the 99, upgrade to the 1900, upgrade to the Metro, upgrade to the EMB-120, and go to Southwest.
7. They get some time in the Chieftain, upgrade to the 99, upgrade to the 1900, upgrade to the Metro, upgrade to the EMB-120, upgrade to the Lear, land at Palmdale instead of Fox field and thus, never leave. Oh and then they dump the Lears, so I dunno what happened to that guy.
