Newark, as a Colgan employee I dislike the company as much as you do. However, is a measly 5,000-10,000 more a year that you guys make really that much of a difference? I'm living in Hartford which is considerably cheaper than NY or DC. My family still needs about 80,000 a year just to break even with our loans and the cost of living.

All regional airlines are crap. Lets focus our power on the man, not each other. That goes for the mainline guys also. Personally, I'm seriously about 5 seconds away from pulling a "John Galt" on this whole industry. It's really not worth it.
