But we're in joint negotiations for a new contract. This sets a precedent. And if the L-XJET side gets 50+ seat aircraft (which is obviously the intention, or else why invest the effort to negotiate an agreement) then any fleet with a common type (like CL-65) will be flown by a single group of pilots.

I don't think dual qual is a good idea, especially for a new hire with no prior experience on said equipment.

Add in SouthWest... Being dual qaul'd streamlines the operation and you get a pay override regarding equipment flown. Also, it gives you more flexibility with bidding because the 200/700/900 have different types of flying.

At SKW most newbies to 121 go to the Bro. If some do make it to the CRJ out the gates, they're usually left on the 200 for a few months before being sent back to Salt Lake for differences training on the 700/900. It really isn't a big deal. The diversity in flying makes it rather fun to be honest.

Point taken. For my point, Majors don't count. I think that most regional new hires have enough to learn without dual qual. Just an opinion. You know what they say about opinions!

This is that same experience of most here IMO.
