You're all right. I personally think the idea is flawed. After 3 years on the ERJ and with a (hopefully) expanding job market, these individuals will have 2500 hours with 2300 on jets. Will they stay to get a command on the ERJ or will they jump ship for a place on the seniority with an airline that flies something bigger? MMmmm
Unfortunately, the company is in a catch 22 situation as most of the present flight crew, no matter what their rank or experience level, are thinking along the same lines. Seniority counts, and unless you want to fly the ERJ forever, there is little point in remaining 'loyal' to a company that allows progression at only a snails pace to bmi mainline or Baby.
