Secondly, Colgan is flying routes that are, for the most part, less than 400nm and not cost effective with a jet.
Expressjet on the other hand, is technically flying routes that belong to mainline. In the 90's your company grew at the expense of mainline jobs.
I'm not making the above point to berate, but I am sure that the Continental Pilots sitting on the sidewalk, waiting for that callback to work, may feel that your company is staffing their position at a fraction of what their pay should be.
EXACTLY!.... Flying IAH-YYZ in an RJ is NOT regional flying. I just chuckle cause sometimes when I jumpseat on CO the fo is an ex XJT and complaining about them taking their flying. Im just speechless. Wait thats right were supposedly taking XJT flying when the Q's get to IAH. Which everybody knows it's going to happen. Why cant we just all get along!
