I submitted my app last week and promptly got a reply saying I hadn't included my total time please resubmit. Now I did copy and paste my resume that has my tt into the app. but didn't upload my resume b/c I didn't see the link the first time around. Does this mean someone actually looked at my app or was this an automated response???

Track - the saab is far more complicated machine with its systems and wacky Sweedish logic. The CRJ is streamlined, straightforward and incredibly easy from a ground school perspective. Both are easy to fly and both have their share of workloads, but distributed in different manners. Plenty to pilots at XJ had gone from the avro to the saab with no problems. It's hard work but it was done by many.
So if you go from the CRJ to the saab, it's the same idea. Hard work and a good attitude, combined with our training departments motivation to make sure you succeed it doesn't really matter what plane you get.

So as we are all trying to find reasoning as to why we are hiring pilots at a time most of us feel we are properly staffed, isn't it ironic that none of DALs regionals are hiring but all of NWAs regionals are?

Well that's the thing I'm going from an ERJ145 to the Saab, I'm kinda excited... I've never flown a turboprop.

1 reason could be that Delta requires A higher staffing number per plane than NWA did with their regional partners? Stab in the dark.

Dont sweat the transition I went from the 900 to the saab it was hard but no problem.The training dept is awesome and they will help you in whatever way they need to.

... it was my understanding that the next gen 900s (which Freedom operate) have IRS's just like the XJ and 9E ones. If so, there's nothing to change in the sim at the training center. AFAIK those Freedom 900s are configured exactly the same as the 9E ones which are configured exactly like the XJ ones.

Last 900 Capt I could find was hired Aug '05.
The contract determines when a SAAB Capt. can upgrade to the 900 Capt. If you jumped to the SAAB right away when you could, you are seat locked for 2 years from the FED ride.
It should be noted that there are some very senior SAAB guys starting to transition to the 900 now and it may be some time before real jr people get into it. However, if there was any place I am wrong most it is upgrade time.
They have been releasing seat locks in the SAAB (both FO and Capt) to get people to move to the 900. We only have a handful of 900's left to be delivered so the next bids for it could go very senior. Especially as the guys in the 200 get closer to their seat locks being released.
Generally FO's upgrade to the SAAB first unless we are getting aircraft. Then its a free or all.
Now if the Merger goes through things could get very crazy again.
