What gives Colgan!!!
Generally speaking, regionals/commuters like people who don't have a huge amount of time because they want to get their training dollars worth out of them. High timers are likely to come in, get what they want quickly and leave.
However when attrition or expansion creates a potential need for lots of captains, these companies start to look for people who will be eligible for a fast upgrade...usually 2000+ with 121 and/or turbine time.
