340SAM,
I'm thinking that if managment was to seat lock Beech Captains. Let's face it, the 1900 is on it's way out sooner than later. The company NEVER made an offical announcement that they had 3 aircraft going back to Raytheon this summer. Raytheon is getting out of the 1900 leasing business and as leases are up the aircraft are going back.
Think of how you are going to feel if they hire into the left-seat of the "Q" and they tell you that you can't transition because we don't have enough F/Os qualified for upgrade. Don't assume that this whole operation can't and won't fall on it's face. Management has made some short-sighted decisions to keep the operation moving and at the same time trying to implement a grandiose strategic business plan. To all the CJC pilots busting their collective A**ES Good on ya', and keep it up. However, I hope it won't all be for nothing.
