Honestly couldn't care if I flew the Saab or not, it's the money that matters.

From the contract: "A Pilot will be pay protected when a junior Pilot is advanced to his new
Status (Base, Equipment Type and Seat Position) before a more senior
Pilot is advanced to the same Status. This pay protection will be at 100%
of line value that the Pilot would have held in that new Status. If a Pilot
declines training in seniority, he will forfeit eligibility for pay protection."

The "would have held" part may be the loophole that management is talking about when they say "you can't hold the Saab, so you can't get the pay"
