And the colgan pilots want our support in their "negotiations"

Their attempt at a real airline is laughable. If they can achieve half the work rules and even close to industry average pay then it will be a monumental step up for them but will still be a drop in the bucket for the massive decrease in pilot compensation they have imposed on the profession.

to the colgan lovers i am not defending xjt taking mainline flying or any jet regional operator but the constant farming out of flying to the lowest, crappiest bidder is like our profession swimming with a cinder block tied to its foot. We will never get anywhere without an end to this. Just wait for your next contract to be underbid by some shoddy operator with grandiose dreams.
