So there definitely will be some upset peeps like myself on that. I think number 125 was the last senior pilot to get the Saab. Then all of a sudden 189 or so gets it skipping the line.
I don't know what other airline guys think of that or how that was handled at your airlines
I'm thinking along the same lines, but I want to go to the Saab. Think it should've been worked that those who want to go to the saab will go over the new hires, and the new hires into the b1900s. I'm about 10 numbers under the jr pilot to go to the saab (aside from new hires), 4 of under him got their number one choice, and 2-3 of those that didn't get their choice are upgrading (didnt get their base choice I'm gusssing) so I'm within 4 numbers of the saab. hope it happens soon.
