The Saab is junior equipment for captains. When you upgrade, it will most likely be to the Saab. When we had the Avro, several people waited to upgrade until they could hold the jet (six years) and then got the short stick when the fleet went away.

The truth is this. The jet will spoil you. I know the Avro did to me. Now imagine being spoiled for 2 years on the jet, upgrade comes and you have to take your first command, learn a new airplane entirely, and learn to fly again with VORs and crossing radials and NDB and non-towered airports. We have had more than one fail to upgrade for those very reasons. Coming from the right seat of the Saab to the left seat is a breeze from what I have heard.

And hey, they are turning on the FMS's in the Saab now. It even displays the hold on the screen!! For the Saab, that is close to miraculous.
