You will thank yourself for not choosing a bottom feeder company down the road, if you do indeed make that decision.
Not necessarily a rant against Colon, more of a thought about settling for less in this profession.
So you fly RJs, I could argue that you are hurting this industry severely more by flying long haul routes at regional pay that should otherwise be flown by mainline at mainline pay. Had you and anyone who flies an RJ not taken the job, then mainline would have been forced to use its people for the job. Wouldn't you agree??
I'm just saying that there is more than one way to slice an apple and your decision is yours and you should not be prosecuted for it. The kid asked about info on Colgan not your thoughts on the industry.
As for the original post. I wasn't sure they were back to hiring for the Saab. I'm not sure what base you would like, but I'm based in IAH and don't mind it. A little slow when you get there but it will pick up once you get some seniority. My biggest gripe thus far about Colgan is crew scheduling. I gave them two week notice on a trip trade and they waited until the day before just to refuse it on no valid reason.
