I have no doubt that you are trying to get ahead of life. We all are. We aren't going to get ahead in this profession if people keep applying to Colgan to fly the Q400 for peanuts. You know that Colgan/Pinnacle management doesn't want to pay you more. They are laughing all the way to the bank everytime a Q400 pushes out of the gate! 74 passengers, all kinds of revenue, just a portion to the crew.
Now just imagine if no one applied to work at Colgan. What do you think they would do? Just imagine.
Well, you see I chose a company that would best suit my personal needs, not those of the industry. Why would I not choose a company that has much of what I am looking for such as good QOL? I would like to be home enough to see my 3 yr. old grow up rather than trying to "save the industry" and go somehwere which will not allow me to live in base. And relocation is not an option at this time. My family is more important to me than going to express jet so I can say I am saving the industry. Get over yourself! There are a lot more problems than Colgan in the biz.
