Except this time, a significant portion of the Saab pilots are junior to most 9E and XJ pilots. Remember, only the top half of the Colgan list made out like kings, up until Feb 2008 DOH. Everyone after mid/late Feb 2008 is number 2200 or later on the list. These folks are Captains only because of the damn fence that Bloch put. I personally think we will declare bankruptcy, file motion 1113e, and go for out of seniority furloughs. But if not, a huge portion of these Colgan pilots, #2200s and later, will be downgraded to FOs and be FOs for a loooong time.
What world do you live on to think that Bloch had to look out for the company on the SLI? The company knew what the deal was, they just "hoped" for large fences.
Second, not that many respect your views on this forum, but your total lack of respect for any of your fellow pilots and ignorance of seniority just shows how clueless people can be.
Like it or not, you are 1800 on the list. Talk to your boys if you don't like that.
