Really why? I suppose they both beat the B1900. I'm tired of the hundo.

Having flown the CRJ, I'd imagine the Saab program would be every bit as difficult as the jet. That being said, I think more people should get turboprop time.

Whatever most of our "decent" hockey players are from Sweden anyway.

I'll prolly get hated on for saying that but. Its like comparing a Ferrari to a Geo Metro. Of course we would all want to drive the Ferrari.

Wow I cant believe I confused this for an honest thread.

So no ATL base for a while?

I base that conclusion on your flame bait posts, poor grammar, and drifting off the subject. Where did anyone mention the 757? Then you bring up the B1900? And you called the SAAB a girly airplane. I'm betting that if you are even a pilot, you wouldn't be calling a turboprop a girly airplane. Unless of course, you're just flamebaiting.

He is looking for a little more respect from your posts which might help you out if you want some answers.

The ATL base is all rumor so I would not put in an app based on the hope for one. Even if they do start one and you get hired, who is to say you will be on the crj900? It is not your choice. The company gives you the equipment and you pick the base that your seniority can hold. If they start a base in ATL, expect it to go senior so if you haven't been hired yet, you are probably out of luck.

I think this guy is from Pinnacle. It might be better for all of us to ignore him. He is trying to get people fired up because he keeps calling the -900 the "9". Sounds like maybe a little jealousy to me.

Fine. Have you seen ANY official statements about an ATL Base? NO. There, your ?'s answered. How bout not coming off like a jerk when asking questions. That might help you get answers.
