I tell you what it sure is tempting to want to start applying for jobs with all these reduced mins and what not. For most of us this is really the moment we have been waiting for and working toward since we first took to the skies. Honestly if I had not joined APC and really started understanding the industry I would probably have already taken the plunge and ended up with a poo poo regional not knowing any better. When I was at Riddle in AZ I thought Mesa was awesome cuz all my instructors were going there........well now.....you know. I get excited about seeing all these low minimums...knowing I could get a job right now if I wanted. But for the most part I really think the guys here know what they are talking about as far as what to look for and what to avoid and we as prospects should consider some of this before jumping into anything just because we know we could get the job.

As far as Colgan goes, I have been thinking about them for a few reasons......I'd love to fly the 340, and I'd love to be based in TX. But as I now know there are far better options down here with a little patience, and I would gladly relocate to be with a better regional.
