I get a call from Pinnacle/Colgan/Masaba asking if I'd like to come in for an interview, which of course I jump at! The paperwork they send for me to fill out, and the email, specify that I'm interviewing with Colgan. Then I start my additional digging for info, which comes to my confusion. Someplaces I read that Colgan is going to disappear. In others, they're getting additional aircraft.

Two questions:
1 - What is the real situation with Colgan?
2 - Am I wasting my time interviewing with them?

Thanks in advance for your on-the-scene/in-the-trenches insights!
Hey, sounds like you're in a similar position to me. I retire from the Navy 01 June, and I interviewed with them right before Christmas. The interview was very laid back, friendly people. But even they seemed to be a bit confused about what the future holds. I have a May class date.

Can anyone on here shed any light on how long I'll spend on reserve/upgrade time? I hope to get a northeast domicile such as LGA or EWR. BOS would be ideal, but does that one still exist? ANY info at all about what I can expect would be great.
