During that time I was working for the highest paid regional with one of the best contracts and it doesn’t compare to how far improved the work rules and career are now for even the worse airline. What Colgan was doing during that time was criminal and I am still surprised no one went to jail over their work practices when they came out to the public.
I was there from 05-11. It was the most fun I’ve ever had being a pilot. Work at delta now. Actually quite a few people that worked at colgan during that time are at delta now. Worked out well for a lot of us.
