Mesaba Street Saab Captain program done?

[Hulk Hogan]

If they are heavy on captains they can skim a few away without replacing. Are the february captain lines (dtw) typical? The credit on most are around 80 I believe ... seems low.

But someone has to come from somewhere to fill their Saab Captain spot.

They are a little heavy on saab captains in MSP with 30 some reserve lines. This is where the 200 captains will probably come from so they wouldn't have to replace them, just cut down the number of reserve lines.

How many more aircraft until we reach the snap back provision in the contract? Just wondering if XJ will be going all CRJ soon and the company is lifting the seat locks to get pilots to go over to the CRJ voluntarily before they announce the Saabs are going to another carrier or bye bye. I know its a long shot but just a theory

I'm under the impression, especially with the price of oil where it is, we will probably be seeing even more turboprops of some kind as the saabs start to go away...if anything I'd think the 200's we're getting will be the first to go with no replacement.
