Any other regionals? I'm around 500TT and 60ME.
Hey Bro,
Colgan has been great for me so far, however I am concidering leaving after my contract is up. It's not because I have been screwed around w/ (like everyone complains about), or anything like that. I just want to move back to where I used to live, and its far enough away that I wouldn't be able to commute very easily. (we don't have a commuter's clause - so if I miss my flights, I could get fired.)
Do your research. Do what YOU have to do for YOU to better your career. Since you are low time, and if you get hired at Colgan, just remember...It's only one year. Plus, by the time you are done with your contract, you can literally pick which regional airline you want to fly for.
Good Luck,
Lax
PS. But if you REALLY want to get on with your choice airline(s)...flight instruct for another couple of months and stick it out. But if you can't stand teaching anymore, concider banner towing, being a skydive pilot, etc.
