I don't know exactly what is going on there, but everyone that I have talked with that hasn't complained about the money, bring up how screwed up the schedules are. They said the transition is not worth the hastle. (Saab-to-Q400 transition that is) A lot of them want to come back to the SAAB, but they are seat locked, and the company won't let them "down grade" to smaller equipment.

All of my buddies are like..."dude, stick around, you can be a Q captain..." Blah blah blah...NO THANK YOU! I like my days off, thank you very much!
