Sure, the Q got a few XJ or maybe 1 9E pilot, but the rest of Qs all went to Colgan, and the Saab is 100% Colgan.
It's hard to gauge how an entire pilot group is going to bid from viewing comments on a message board. I think less than a tenth of the whole Colgan group got awarded a jet slot, so it is true that the majority of us are just fine staying in current position. There will be much more disappointment to come in this career, this I promise you.
