Its WHO you know, not WHAT you know, to get hired. Money aside...it's always good to get lots of experience in the right seat before moving up. And in terms of the tier...very suprised to see that you think Colgan is a low tier. I mean home everynight to some people is awsome, the pay isn't bad, schedules aren't horrid from what I've heard, upgrade time in the 1900 is about 1 year, and the F/A's are cute, lol.
