That's a good question. This latest phenomena is totally new. I do not think Mesaba could have guessed this coming even a month ago. However, they've had CAs from AVROs go through the entire training for the SF3 and fly the line for 2 weeks in the Saab, then send them to the CRJ900 training all over again, so this is not new. It looks like CRJ people are being bypassed for the SF3 upgrade for now because everyone on the CRJ program who got listed on the SF3 upgrade has bypassed after their name.
