Good point. Why don't they just transfer the Global pilots into the right seat of the Airbus? What, can't the Global pilots handle the transition? 200 hour airline pilot wannabes start off in the right seat of Airbus airplanes - why can't an experienced Global or Falcon pilot? The Global is probably more automated/advanced than the Airbus.

Can someone explain that to the rest of us? Is it all about not wanting to pay for a type rating with furloughed Airbus drivers in the market? That can't be good for loyalty (when economic conditions get better).
