We are so over staffed in the 200FO side. I bid 47 and I go between holding the last line and the first buildup line of every month. If you're hired into the 200 as an FO now you'll be on reserve for the rest of your life. You'll be bidding in the 90's. Just like it was mentioned earlier, the majority of the "Senior" FOs in the 200 are newer and don't have the time to upgrade or are waiting for a MSP Saab spot. If I were a new hire and had the choice, I would take the Saab hands down. I hear it's an amazing plane and there's lots of movement now. Plus I'm selfish....when there are new guys on the 200 the green lines throw me back to the build up lines! ha ha.
