Ah yes...that is what we call a Fam-flight (familiarization). You can coordinate that through dispatch actually. It has some merit. I think it has the most benefit after a couple of sim sessions though. When you get out to the line, there are some subtle differences and some not so subtle ones. So when you go on the flight, just remember that you may see some stuff that is a bit different than how you will be expected to do it in the sim...airspeed control is a big one that comes to mind!! It'll be a learning experience no matter what though.

Enjoy, the Saab is a fun little airplane to fly actually.
