FO. I know one guy from the NE who is going CA 1900 to CA Saab in next month's class. According to the latest base award (5/19) he'll be the second-most junior CA on the Saab right now and he's been here for 5+ years. Word is there should be some Street CAs going to the Saab since 1900 new-hires are no longer happening for now. The bid award had about a half-dozen Street CAs from the 4/30 new-hire class that were unassigned beyond CA status (no equipment or base listed). There are also 8 FOs on the bid award who are 4/30 DOH but on the Saab. It's gonna get complicated when the System Staffing Bid happens this summer, lotsa guys who are low on the seniority list who are holding seats that I know a bunch of senior pilots want. Gonna be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
Like I said, for all you new pilots here, be prepared to get shuffled around. Those who have previous 121 experience will know this song by heart already.

They are taking the 1900 out of the schedule. They are not going to train the new hire class in the Saab to displace them into the 1900 after training... That's twice the training for a plane they are going to park. I think the thing here is timing... They have 2 Saab's hitting the line every month and not enough people to fly them. There isn't time to train the new hires in the 1900 and then do the transition training. Why train someone to fly something that is going away? The answer is they're not going to. EVERYONE is going to the Saab it's just a matter of getting them on property and getting the flights started ASAP... If this weren't true then why the street captains? I know it stinks for those in the 1900 right now but I think the fact that they're doing it this way shows how much growth they are ramping up for... I'm excited to be on board...
Congrats and that's really good news to hear concerning the growth and what's perceived as the potential stability of this (new) company.

I didn't see this mentioned before - but does any of the folks that have been through Silver training have any advice to offer on things to bring that may not be mentioned to us, or that we may not think of to bring?
I apologize, this is my first 121 experience...looking forward to making the most of it.
To those of you whom sent me PMs before, I got locked out for a while I guess because they allowed you to do so before I hit 15 posts. Took me a long time via emails etc., to get back in, but my PMs are all gone as a result. So if you sent me something previously please note I was not ignoring you, and wish to thank you for trying!
