This is exactly why the RAA and airline management can't just use the "pay has nothing to do with quality" argument. There are lots and lots of great pilots who went to better airlines or did something else rather than throw their hats in with the likes of certain companies.

You pay nothing and all you end up getting the folks who either couldn't find work any where else or are trying to cut corners in their career. Lets face it, the only reason people went to Colgan was the fast upgrades or didn't have the experience to go somewhere better.
