There are 40 recalls on this vacancy. Don't know how deep into the list of 220 furloughs they will have to go to get them.
The current (few) CRJ pilots are going to stay on the CRJ until it is sent to 9E in June. Then they will probably have differences training into the CR9. There won't be any need for dual rating since we will only have the CR9 to worry about.
The right seat of the CR9 will probably mostly go to returning furloughs and new hires, since anyone lateralling from the Saab will be seat locked for 24 months. Some will, but the majority will not I suspect. With this vacancy, they are building the Saab numbers to cover training etc. 10 jet slots, 30 Saab slots are open.
