I don't ever see a staple being done with Mesaba unless there are some strong fences to protect the xj pilots. Many of us are lifers and would fight tooth and nail from being displaced to a FO position. Who cares if it's on heavier iron, I don't care to be a chamelion for some crusty ol mainliner. I want my days off, vacation and QOL and enjoy my time on the SAAB. Someday maybe even one of those machines with the props hidden in two coors cans.
