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.
In a word? ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY!!! What would you do with an extra $1000 a month? Just looking at the pay scales here, and without knowing much about the highly desirable workrules at Colgan, I make just about double what a Colgan FO with the same seniority makes. But whats a few bones between friends
