Congrats again on the job. What's your opinion on whether or not I should apply there? I am a 36 yr. old CFI with 450/25. I do not have a degree but did serve in the US Marines and ran my own small building co. for 8 years. I am going to apply to Colgan when I reach the mins of 500/80. They are a good fit for me and I am aware of what others say but I believe it what you make of your experiences. I hope my life experience and aptitude for success are enough to get hired by a regional airline. I do realize that most majors require a degree but some do not, although highly desirable. I am hoping to fly for a regional for about 5 years and then move into fractional. I just spent a lot of time and money on my ratings and going back to school part time to earn my BS would not fit into my schedule right now, especially if hired by a regional. I know I was born to do this , just took me some time to get here. All the flight training and knowledge came very easy to me. All 95 and higher on writtens and all checkrides were perfect. CFI checkride went perfect with the FAA inspector commending every segment and saying I was much more prepared than most CFI candidates, this was the BOS FSDO. Just filling in some backround so I dont sound like a pilot that is better off flying FS 2004. Thanks for any input, it's much appreciated.
