commuting can be done at colgan. I did it from Los Angeles to the east coast for 7 months without ever missing a beat. It's tough, but if you do it right and very conservitive, you will never have a problem. Not too sure about upgrade. I'm hearing a lot of conflicting info. 15-18 to 20-24 depending on who you talk to. I think it really comes down to how you do in the PC, if you have been a douc*e bag or not, and how much time you have. I know a lot of ppl are complaining about upgrade times at colgan, but they also walked in with well less than 1000TT. It's not senority, so if you have the times, have a good PC, and have a good name out there, you will prob get looked at.

Almost no overnights in the NE, unless you get stuck with a MX repo. THat is rare though. YOu will usually get home, even if it's 3 am. IF the rumors about the 10 new 340's are true, expect upgrade times to go down, just because we will need more crews.

FOr the guy who said he has applied twice......... Dude, I came out of Los Angeles. Colgan didn't want anything to do with a west coaster mostly because I guess they have had prob's with Socal ppl quiting after moving to the NE. I called Chuck Colgan Jr presonally because I wanted the job. I sold myself, and 2 days later I had a ticket in the mail. IF you want the job, be couteous, but proactive. THey get a ton of apps i'm sure. Call Cathy or Chuck and tell them why you would like an interview. It won't hurt, and it will probably help. IF you want it, it is there. I applied 3 times with over 1200TT, 200 multi, and 135 time and never ever got an email. i call later and i ws in LGA at the interview. Good luck
