Nobody and I mean nobody (except for a select few) knows whats going on the the 69 a/c. When this info is made public than things may seem a little more concrete but the fact is that you can'y go from Instructing to CAL or any other major/national carrier until you do some time in the regionals so why not try to spend that time working for a good company making decent pay (I Know its low, but its one of the better payers in the regional ind.) would rather spend my time at XJT than at Colgan, Its not that Colgan was so bad, its just that 8 legs a day going to the same 3 airports gets very stale, as well as broken A/C, no perdiem, no contract etc.... (Is that better than no job at all, of course) but until Expressjet starts to furlough I am happy that I am making the move, and only time will tell if it is.............. Anyway just my own thoughts I know I am passing up an impending upgrade but 1,000PIC Turbine is not like the 100 multi as a CFI.
