i over heard some guys in the crew room, they must have been former class mates, one asked "are you in the 900?" the other responded "no, i fly the saab" the first guy responded "oh that sucks!"
The rest of the crewmembers (FA CA FO) in the crew room were not impressed by his arrogant attitude

I too think this thread should be merged with the mega Mesaba thread where it belongs but I would like to add my .02 on this new hire saab vs rj issue. I am a former navy P-3 guy with almost 1000 multi prop, and 1500TT ALL PROP, and even I feel I am better off getting my feet wet in the 121 world on the Saab. I realize everyone is in a diff situation coming in, and everyone is certainly entitled to thier opinion, but no one should say "that sux" to someone else being on the saab, you are still a professional airline pilot and working your way (hopefully) toward bigger and better things, its not like anyone is forced to fly the Saab thier whole life, be happy that you were hired, and are getting the experience needed to someday fly a Big Shiney Jet.
Again, from a guy who has flown every hour of his career in a turboprop, I would have chosen the Saab if given a choice of the two for a multitude of reasons.

Im sure all of us can say we love flying, thats why we are here. For someone to say that sucks about flying the saab needs to look at why hes in this profession. First off from my understanding all of us will fly the saab at one point? At least my new hire paper work has the upgrade order (crj fo- saab ca- crj ca) and (saab fo- saab ca - crj ca). I may be wrong on that, but if so why apply at a company when you know there is a possibiltiy of flying the saab. All i know is iv never flown a plane i didnt like!
