RAH had a class of 16 lined up for the Q400, a couple months ago, and 0 of 16 showed!!! <SHOCK> . Class of 4 started today at Silver for the Saab. Some guys have prior Saab experience, too.

Cant be CAs...too many senior FOs to step over. Now that they supposedly have the upgrade program approved, no point in more DECs. Seniority list sent out last week has them listed as "New Hire" DOH 7/15/13, FO Saab.

I asked myself the same thing still took a class at another regional to fly the Q. Have no regrets so far and can't wait to start.

RAH has no intentions on getting rid of the Q. United came to THEM and asked them to operate the Q. And the Q isnt covered under mainline scope so its possibilities for expansion are limitless.
