Seems about right TSWEEN. When the first 200 vacancy came out a few months ago not many SAAB capts were interested but it did go fairly senior. There is a new one out now that closes next week for 11 so we will see how many people jump to the jet.
I was in one of the May '07 classes and when we first got online we could have upgraded right away almost (in DTW though, not MSP). Now vacancies are less frequent and the latest one for the SAAB only has 2 openings so yes, things are stagnating a little around here. If there is one thing I can say for certain it is that I have no idea what the next 6 months will bring so I wouldn't give anyone hope or dash their hope of a good schedule or upgrading.
