The reason I say it may hurt PNCL in the long run is because I think there will be more Colgan guys wanting to fly jets that the other way around. I for one would give a lot of thought in doing a transition from left seat Saab to left seat CRJ after a while, that way we can get that sought after Jet PIC everyone wants.
As far as how we will merge senority, a staple wont happen so nothing much will change. Here is an example. If a Saab FO has 1.5 years senority and 2000 TT w/ 1100 and with the merge his senority drops to .75 years he will still upgrade in the same time, as in now.
not quite... i am a 1.5yr fo with the mins to upgrade (time wise) and will not hold mem ca for a few months. By late summer i should have the seniority and will have the age. Remember with no crj time at pncl you need 3500tt. good luck holding mem. not trying to be mean- just presenting facts. I will be very upset if i don't upgrade late summer because of a colgan fo who comes in and takes the vacancy. Call me selfish but i am here for the tjpic. if i just wanted an upgrade i would not have stuck it out this long. have i ever mentioned how i miss my laptop on trips? my pda is making me frustrated!
