After only 6 or 7 months you're kick'n your buddies butts that didn't wash out at that regional jet carrier. LoL! Seems an okay deal. If only it weren't on a BE-1900's . But, as many have said, that wont last long. And, the Saab is a transport category aircraft. 30+ seats. You can parlay that for a good seat at a better op. from a life-career perspective.

Sucks that they lock you in on the B1900 for a year.
Dude we all know what a Saab is. Loose the "transport category" hardon!
