Thank you Rightseat,

KiloAlpha, don't jump to conclusons so quick, and get your airline straight - not as a personal attack. Yeah, I would NOT fly for Great Lakes...hehe - The ramen noodle diet sucks...believe me, I am a CFI...I know the gig. But Colgan is a great company, in fact, your first year you make about 27K Gross - give or take. (flying the Saab 340) And since the Saab 340 is a 'heavy' T-prop, you can easily get hired to fly bigger jet aircraft.

Also, if you 'get' the Saab 340, you are more than likely to upgrade to the left seat in about a year of service. (ATP mins + 800-1000 TT in type, they have a 2200 TT stipulation, but I was informed that they disregaurd that for the most part.)

One of my good friends flys with them, and through all the Hurricane crap that went on down south, Mr. Colgan took care of them. He is a good guy to work for. Anyway, that is my opinion...
