Most of those Colgan ALPA guys couldn't sign up to fly the Q400 fast enough, while at the same time pushing for a drive to get ALPA in hopes of better work rules, QOL, and compensation. If that's not hypocracy, then I don't know what is.

I agree about the first bunch signing up to fly the plane regardless of pay. However there are a bunch of guys who will not fly it for that pay. Now we know 15 more Q's are coming with the option for 30 more so Colgan will need a whole new crop of guys to fly them, pay will be an issue.
