Take the seat lock? Probably not worth it guys, a lot of movement will be going on. I'm with Al, I doubt you will find yourselves in a position with 17 days off/no weekends. Nobody knows how SLI's going to play out, but we'll all be complaining. We're pilots, that's what we do. If it works out well for you guys, good deal; but I wouldn't plan on it. We'll hope no pilot group totally gets the shaft, but it's doubtful that one of us will make out that much better than the other.

If the move to the jet is about domicile and being closer to home, I wouldn't argue. Just to fly a jet though? I'd re-evaluate...SJS is a dangerous affliction, those affected should seek immediate psychiatric evaluation.
