N618FT,

I couldn't agree with you more. I like Colgan because of their base locations (one of them is my hometown). The other reason is their upgrade times. I'm in Man asses right now and the word is, the time to upgrade to capt has been lowered to "1000 hours in type". No total time requirement anymore. That means around 14 months to start logging PIC...less if you bust your butt. So, theoretically, a Colgan pilot could be flying right seat for Southwest before most jet guys even make it to the left seat of the RJ. Good luck and see you out there.
