Most reasonable people would agree, these Colgan guys should have at least sat in the right seat of the RJ for at least 6 months. Beating a dead horse, but your argument that a Colgan Ca right out of training, is just as capable of flying the RJ as well as a 9E or XJ guy with years of experience is ridiculous.
