For once I agree with Saab. I doubt that the Colgan pilots will get paid what they should for 70 seat pay. They are the lowest paid Saab340 pilots out there. The quick upgrade was always the reason to keep FO pay down, but now that you can upgrade in a jet quicker at SKW and Pinnacle than a T-prop at Colgan I think they may have to change their pay structure to fill classes.
No matter how you cut it, I think this is good news for the Colgan pilots. They deserve it. Hope it works out for you guys.
