Yeah kinda silly to speculate, I mean I was at Colgan and all the captains I flew with have been hearing SAAB 2000 for about 5 years now so I shoulda knew better, can't wait to start training though, F**^%$ ERJ out EWR, and actaully getting paid a decent amount for it (after 1st pay anyway) Overnights, APU's, FMS's, GPS's and I get to go to more places then PIT. LGA. IAD 
Airplanes w/ no MEL's. record for me was 9

If you had stayed at Colgan wouldn't you have upgraded in less than a year, have been able to bid into a non-mx base, and been paid in the mid 40s? But now you get JET SIC time. That's going to get you far. Smooth move, ex-lax.

I'm sure SAAB will be much happier flying jet equipment at XJT in the right seat. XJT is a good company and the current route structure enables you to be in a much larger geographical area. Once he starts flying the jet at XJT, I would think that he will never have a desire to fly a bug smasher again.

my bad
You guys are right. RJs are totally cool. And by the time he upgrades, Southwest will probably have run out of acceptable candidates with PIC time, and have started taking guys with 3000 jet sic. I totally didn't look at the big picture. I'm such a loser, I'm going to go cry into the sic column in my logbook, since that doesn't get used anymore.
