Actually, a few of them are long time FO's that could have upgraded a while ago but are holding out because they are commuters. I suppose they will eventually take the saab upgrade, due to the better schedules. I was hired in 05 and furloughed, I just recently passed the 1500 hr mark and the first upgrade in DTW I could hold was the 900.
