My problem with you is that you have the b.a.l.l.s. to come on here and bash colgan pilots because you think we are undercutting the industry and affecting your job security and QOL. We all have families to support and bills to pay.
According to you I should quit my job and be an FO again at a higher paying airline because you think im undercutting this industry. I'm here to get my time and get out. Period.
Get a life pal.......
You have basically proved my point three times in your post. You think that Colgan's pilots have the same quality of life, work rules and pay rates as ExpressJet. ha! You are only in to for yourself and therefore don't understand why underbidding hurts the guys at the top and helps the lower paid guys at the bottom.
While you're getting your time and getting out, where are you headed? Continental? To fly the big ones? To me, the Q400 is a big one with Continental colors, that should be mainline. Headed to NWA? Or just Compass? That's where mainline's growth is these days. Q400s and E175s. In the meantime, while you're
getting your time you are flying passengers around the airline system. This isn't some flight school time building internship. This my profession.
You just don't see that. You see through Colgan shades. You are only in it for yourself.
I guess the perspective over there inside Colgan is a lot different than from the outside looking in. Bottom feeder company pride I'd call it.
