What is it for a Colgan Saab FO, a $10/hr increase? If they commute anyway it's a no-brainer. Especially when your 2009 hires end up in front of 2007 XJ/9E hires... not only a $10 raise but 17 days off w/ no weekends for the first time in their career as well.
This is assuming straight relative integration of the snapshot lists, which I consider likely. Also, I don't actually have the snapshot lists so it might actually take a 2008 Colgan hire date to make the above true

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.

I for one would bid the RJ if it enabled me to have a better QOL. If I could move to another Saab domicile (ie. DTW) and hold a great line, I would (personally) stick with my current equipment. Money isn't everything. QOL is.

Sounds like a windfall for junior Colgan pilots. Nothing against them, but that notion is depressing...

For a 2009 hire to move over to the RJ and then be seat locked for 12 months, would be stupid.
