Unfortunately most believe like the poor colgan FO that after a few thousand hours at colgan they're going to wind up at Alaska or Fedex. It's becoming a pipe dream. Even pilots that have been there and done that will not sway potential pilots. We can't, it's like crack cocaine. They have to try it.
