Another CRJ 900 sim??? I think you may be confused. There is an EMB sim for compass coming in 09. If you're right that would be a good sign as to our future. The 200 can be converted to a 900 sim. Our current 200's (except for 601 & 602) are just whipshaw tactics against 9E. Once their contract is signed I expect them to go back.
The SAABS are a cash cow with the EAS service. I don't see them going away in the next 6 years. In the mean time hunker down and save up for the tough times.
PS my investments are doing very well thank you. When I transition to a major it will take 4 years before the pay will equal what I make now. And QOL will take even longer. :0
