Instant return on investment. PCL pilots were not actively bidding on t-prop flying and saying that the planes will be bought with just pcl pilots money is bs. It's being bought with pcl pilots money and colgan pilots equity. For me, I'd much rather see the pcl pilots get the contract resolution that they deserve before any aircraft order is placed. I'm no noob, and I know what's right and what's deserved. Is it up to colgan or pcl pilots? F no. But, colgan can turn almost an instant profit with the new props, an routes they have been biddin on for years. More profit in my eyes would give more money to pcl for bigger jets in the future. Colgan would be the cash cow. But we all know that's not how mgmt thinks. THis isn't whipsaw by any means yet.
