OK, OK, some of you guys think that actually flying the aircraft...ie Q-400 Captain automatically puts you in Catagory 2. Not so...it is what your senority could hold if a phantom list was published with the top guys bidding the top equipment.

Example...Number 1 Colgan guy was a SF-340 FO in IAH. Flying the Saab fat, dumb and happy as an FO. He would still be in Catagory 2 because his actual senority number could hold Q-400 Captain.

Lots of examples of that on the CRJ-900 on the XJ side. There are quite a few junior guys that are 900 Captains, but are put in the turboprop CA catagory in terms of senority numbers. They will continue to fly the 900, but will be reserve for years and years and even more years.
