Or they didn't want to upgrade into the phenom from a larger cabin aircraft they're currently on. With the new incentives maybe they'll change their minds. Who knows. Being in the challenger, I wouldn't want to go down to the phenom either. I can see both sides. The word bypass is not the right word. 5 years or more of service will be upgraded seeing as they qualify as a captain. Not just given and handed out. They will have to and must qualify as a captain to be paid like one and on the Challenger pay scale at that even if they remain in the right seat or SIC duties.
