I used to appreciate most of SAAB's replies, but since you made the HUGE upgrade to Expressjet you've been riding this unbelieveable high horse!!

Let's look at the facts: you were sittin on an ungrade at Colgan, unless you were one that ruffled feathers and was getting bypassed, where you would have been making $45K plus a year while building turbine PIC time. You decided Expressjet was where it's at, big things are happening. Well you could be an optimist or a pessimist on that one they both have their arguments but we won't go there with this one.

What you really did was take a $22K pay cut, along with over the next 4-5 years, that being how long it's gonna take you to upgrade will be losing $10K over that span. By the time you upgrade you would have been in a great position to skip Expressjet and go flow for a real airline.

If you felt it was the right thing to do then by all means, i don't question your decision, i have a lot of friends that have gone there in the last 8 months and its seems like a great place to be. Lot's of variables factor into that kind of a decision.

I think i've made my point and now i'm gonna sit back and wait for someone to jump on this one....
