I don't understand, if you guys are furloughed, why IN THE WORLD would you subject yourself to another "1st year pay &QOL" at a regional. There are so many things you could do, and you would make more then a 1st year regional guy. This is a perfect opportunity for you furloughed guys to venture off and try something new, something different, you never know, you just might like it, and when your airline recalls you, you can stay at your new career or go back, but doing it all over again is CRAZY.
The sad thing is, Colgan management (any airline management really) is going to think their pay is great, I bet they get 1,000's of applications for these few crappy jobs<---------Not aimed at Colgan, any regional 1st year airline.
It drives me crazy when I talk to people and they say "but what else am I going to do"..............are you kidding me? I could think of a lot of things I would rather do and before you guys say there are no other jobs, I made more WORKING AT NORDSTROM'S part time, then I did at Colgan...............
