Never, never pass up an upgrade. For example some wouldn't take a J31 upgrade and waited on the Saab. Those that took a J31 upgrade went to the left seat of the Saab when the J31 was retired. The more senior Saab FO's got bypass pay, but missed out on the PIC time. Which might be good from a certain point of view, but PIC time is important as well.
