The wings - sorry, I hadn't seen your post when I typed that. It wasn't meant as a dig at anyone in particular.
4468 - No contadiction at all. The sad thing is that a jet F/O or Captain at Flybe still earns considerably more than their counterpart on the Q400. That is the main reason for the attitude you are seeing. At the moment there are plenty of jobs out there even for Q400 pilots if they want to move on. Most of those trying to change fleet are possibly planning to stay because of being happy based where they are, but would like to earn more. If you take into consideration that it takes between 6 - 8 years of seniority to get a LHS on a jet at Flybe you'll see why they are not happy about the idea of direct entry pilots going straight into the embraer.
