Wow, you guys are quite the welcoming group of guys. So far I haven't seen Colgan an anyones worst of the worst list, nor best of the best lists.

"Wow! Way to help the industry out. I'll just have to get a second job to help Colgan/Pinnacle out. You'll find that attitudes like this will annoy other pilots in this industry.... especially union pilots that have beter compensation and schedules than Colgan."

What are these so called better compensation schedules? They all look about the same to me, unless were talking about the difference of $2/hour. O and I guess QOL doesn't matter either and the fact that Colgan Outbases unlike the rest in the industry which is advantageous to many of their pilots. Reference above:

"I've also had experience with Colgan and found them to be a good honest company. I had a great time working there. People were great and the flying was fun. I got great experience, was able to upgrade quickly, and after three years moved on to a major airline. Like any company I had one or two minor issues. But I was never asked to fly when I thought the aircraft was unsafe or when I was fatigued. Try to stay out of a NE maintenance base (Albany and Hyannis), unlike SAAbaroowski. That will keep you away from the part 91 ferry flights.

Once I left Colgan I found that major airline captains, a large number of which came from civilian ranks and flew turboprops themselves, very respectful of SAAB drivers. My transistion to the 737 was a breeze.

Good Luck! Have fun."

Guess what this guy had to say was bogus? Find me a pilot who doesn't have one or two issues with their company/airline/mil job/any job and I'll show you a liar.
