Not to burst your bubble here but your coming to a 3,000 pilot group airline that allows people to bid back and forth to different aircraft, things are definately not going to be the way they were in regards to upgrades at CJC...just sayin...

With attrition may be a shorter upgrade than people see. Welcome aboard. With all the BS... A lot of good people at 9E/XJ/9L. Most have a good time at work here.

You know, that's a really valid point and I had been meaning to ask about that. I know they're taking deliveries of the Q through, what, April, which explains why that's what they're hiring into. And I suppose it's less of a divergence pay wise with the new contract, but aren't there a fair amount of 9L and even XJ Saab guys who would bid into the Q, barring any remaining seat lock of course. I'm sure some guys are happy in their base, but if they move Qs to MSP, DTW, or DEN (which is all rumor obviously), it might shake things up a bit. Just tossing it out there, and I may be way off base, but I'm just curious. Basically I was wondering how the reserve time for 9L new hires on the Q could be so short with all this SLI falling into place. I have a ton of friends at RAH who all just got slaughtered by their SLI.

I didn't say unfairly or unjustly slaughtered...just lost a year or two to upgrade than what they would have had sans merger. It was just a passing comment, I have no dog in that race, and wasn't trying to incite anything.

In this industry negativity is always around the corner, better get used to it.
