Also considering we can't cheat and use 135 rest rules on the Saab, like we could on the 1900. Let the scheduling nightmares begin, I mean continue.

To those coming in off the street into the Saab, be warned that a new staffing bid is likely to displace you into the 1900. Assuming the staffing bid is honored...

Why would there be any displacements? Vacancies- of course but displacements?

Anything is possible but I do not see Silver training new hires on the SAAB just to see them put right into 1900 training less than a month out of training. I think some of you guys wanting the SAAB but currently on the 1900 maybe disappointed with company plans until they get more SAABs online and start replacing the 1900 at a quicker pace. I am just stating this from the business side of what their plans maybe.

What does your contract say about vacancies and staffing bids?

I will fly whatever they want me to. Besides, I think the 1900 is a fantastic bird, and I truly hate to be put in front of anyone wanting the Saab. But unfortunately we don't get a say in it as new hires.

But with all that said I don't see them spending so much money to train someone in the Saab, only to put them in the 1900. I would imagine they are planning on getting more Saabs in this year than they originally intended.

Gonna have to turn it down, they weren't offering a CA position (at least to me) and I make more currently.

Sucks because I REALLY wanted to come over!

Salukipilot4590,

Did I understand correctly, that you turned their offer down?

Did your last post indicate that you are in the Jun 4 class?

What happened ?
