What about upgrade times? I've been told that the upgrade at Colgan is less than a year, and that Colgan even has captains in the FO seat sometimes. With a college degree one could make a b-line for the majors far sooner than if he/she were to start at another regional. Which is the smarter choice in the long run? There is obviously a decision to be made about whether to go to jets and better benefits, or to get aggressive about getting that top spot with the majors. Since it would pay you with a couple of years at the top of the payscale at some major, shouldn't that be a consideration? I only ask because I am now trying to decide myself.
