Trust me, by going to Colgan you are harming their chances at getting a fair contract.
The only way to get a fair contract at Colgan is for management to be put in a corner. No matter how great you think you are at negotiating, you are only harming the Colgan pilot group by going there. Good contracts are obtained through leverage. Leverage is gained by the Colgan group by you withdrawing your app.

That is not a good excuse for going somewhere. Scabs say the same thing when they cross the picket line. "If I strike, someone else will do the flying."

You should withdraw your app too. It will not help the Colgan pilots if you accept the job there.
You can't wait to interview? You can't wait to apply for food stamps too?
