Perhaps if you also did your homework (perhaps this is why you failed your upgrade) you would know based on press releases that Colgan will be flying out of EWR. Furthermore, a lot of people are very pleased that the Q is coming and there is a lot of people that will want to come to work for Colgan. Contrary to what you think of Colgan's pay rates, which you make sound like we are living out of a box, they are not that far off industry standards. In fact, if you look at payrates for Mesaba, who is union, they are only a couple of dollars difference for CA and there are no union dues. I will agree that FO pay is sub par, but upgrade time is much faster through Colgan than any other regional.
So get over your obsession with Colgan bashing and good look with your career. Actually, sounds more like jealousy because we will be flying brandnew 20 million dollar aircraft that will be the envy of regional carriers.
