Colgan doesn't neccesarilly have a 'flow through" program with CAL. They call it "preferential hiring." That doesn't necesarily mean a gaurenteed job either. You have to have what it takes, just like every other Joe Shmoe. Although, a handfull of people from Colgan just got hired into the 757 class within the past month or so. That is from an inside source.

Although, I do agree with Fosters. I would much rather fly an RJ for 3 or 4 years before upgrade, than upgrade in anywhere from 6-12 months. The money is much better, even as a 3rd and 4th year FO flying a Jet, as to a T-prop captain.

If you are young, like myself, it isn't going to kill you to sit right seat for a few years until upgrade. That is my opinion. I have a lot of college friends who are flying for various Regionals, and they say sitting right seat for a few extra years isn't all that bad. You are still flying...jet equipment...and its still fun. I guess it also depends on your personality too...

Anyways, that's my two cents. Keep the blue side up - and happy landings!
