This would then push the junior jet f.o. both out of their plane and base to then fly the opened colgan saab f.o. spots. This has the potential to give just about every elligible Colgan pilot an upgrade while sending a lot of the junior pinnacle and mesaba captains back to f.o. and many junior f.o. commuting to Saab f.o.
Hopefully all the colgan guys stay put and then yes the displaced saab guys fill the vacant positions and there is very little displacing and shuffling involved.
