Ladies and gentlemen from the flight deck, due to the upcomming realignment bid, the captain has elected to turn on the fasten seatbelt sign.

All new hires (most likely) from now on will be going to the Saab (subject to change as in anything in this industry.)

The company puts out a vacancy that says they need (say 10) of new hires in the CRJ and (say 5) in the Saab. Everybody who is not held to a seat lock is able to bid what they wish. Most people are bidding over to the CRJ as it pays more than the Saab for 2nd year + pay. So then you now have 15 new hires going to the Saab when all is said and done.

This is pretty much it in a nutshell, however everything is so dynamic right now with displacements/reductions, etc.

If you were just recently hired and are already flying in the RJ you are seat locked for a year correct?

Two years for transition as an fo and one year for upgrade. But you could easily be displaced if you are a recent new hire and when you are displaced seat locks go out the window.

How recent is recent? If it was in the past couple months I would start getting ready for Saab class!

That, plus the CRJ schoolhouse will be maxed out on CRJ training with the realignment bids, so no room for new hires.

another question...if we keep hiring people into the saabs why do we have to continue to displace pilots into them if we are reducing flying?
