I don't get the "owned" image. Don't you only need 4-in-a-row to win? If so, the red chips guy has already won. There are already 4 in a row diagonally. Dropping that chip he's holding is useless.
About the Colgan wind-down, this was probably done to prevent guys being awarded the Qs just a month before it disappears anyway! That last award had way too many pilots going to training for an aircraft that was gone in less than two months. That is an utter waste of money, and no company in their right mind should have done that.
