Narrative:

Upon takeoff from london, ontario, canada, gear wouldn't retract. 2 were up, right main was stuck down. After cycling gear a few times, we left gear down, performed QRH checklist, etc. Crew elected to continue to dtw (30 min flight) with gear locked down, instead of returning to original airport. Get homeitis. Should have landed at nearest suitable airport or we should have returned to takeoff airport. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states there has been no follow up on this incident. He has upgraded since then and has not had contact with the captain. Company apparently did not consider their choice a problem. Reporter indicated there was plenty of fuel on board.
