cont. pref hire = yes

40 - 48 first year capt. - no

Colgan is what you make of it. Don't expect to be placed in IAH and if you don't like the winters in the north Colgan is not your place.

As a Capt. first year you can expect mid 30's to low 40's. (SF340)

Plan on working if your in the beech and no matter what stay away from maint. bases.

Colgan is becoming very stable (by Colgan standerds) right now so expect the upgrade on the Saab to get closer to two years.

The cont. pref hire is for 500 PIC instead of 1000 but its really the senior folks getting the jobs. Senior at Colgan is 5 years.

Hope this helps.
