There were plenty of Colgan pilots who hit the jackpot on this list. Yes some got hosed but thats the same across all three lists. I saw 9e guy hired 7 years after a XJ and had about 20 numbers on him. I also saw a BUNCH of 08 9L hires 500-700 numbers ahead of me and I'm a mid 07 9E. So I feel you, I feel for everyone who got hosed in some way, but honestly I think the junior 9L captains made out the best. A march 08 hire has a 1300ish ISL number... please. I also noticed the number 1 9L guy was back at 300 something? or was it 150s. Sure it was complicated, but wow. Was what Bloch thinking? Sure the senior mesaba guys made out to, but at the senority level does it really matter? Those 08 Colgan guys were the real winners when it comes to bidding power increases and available options, hands down.
