its not about the aircraft to me. The Bombardier and EMB are both good just have there pros and cons etc.....My point is when you make this many waves within a company, upset a lot of lives and make so many changes you have to have a solid gameplan that you stick to. Obviously no study was done on these EMB as the 170 would have never arrived in that case. At this point to change again would be disastrous to so man y people. Maybe SM does not care but there are again people leaving in droves as the planning and career progression are again under scrutiny. To flip flop to another type now put all the EMB pilots back on another course where they again make only basic salary for 6 months due to lack of planning. This would truly bring moral to an all time low. The company needs to turn around we all can agree on that but it has to be in partnership with the people and not on their backs!
