And XJ and 9E fences are full, that's why Colgan guys are able to bid 900 captain and 200 captain positions.

Trust me, 9E did not get hosed in this SLI, the guys being displaced just had made captain prior to the SLI coming out, most of the XJ guys coming over to 9E have many many more years of service than the 9E guy above them in their new position.
