Just an update for those applying....

I finished airlineapps today, about 1.5 hours later I had an email from Chuck Colgan to give him a call. I called him, got the machine so I left a message, and I'm still waiting to hear back. Had a friend who had Chuck call him in the morning, so I wonder if this email I got, is the email you get after business hours, then he calls when he's in the office tomorrow morning? Not sure if the rest of you got the same thing, but figured I'd share whats going on with me.

Figured if I get a call from Chuck, at least go to the interview, secure a class date if possible, and check it out for myself. See if eagle or anything else pops up before the class date, or at least try to figure out some more information on the company to see if I'd want to go there.

1250TT 575ME CFI, CFII, MEI, RJ course, 1 semester away from bachelors. no prior 121 or 135.

1.) Anybody who actually works at Colgan mind sharing what their paycheck comes out to after taxes for min guarantee? average per month from per diem?

2.) What is a typical day on reserve like? how many days in a row? hours on duty? long call? short call?

3.) How does bidding for your schedule happen? Can you drop trips? or individual legs?

4.) Commuting on Reserve? is it possible, impossible impractical?

Applied to Eagle, but haven't heard anything. Even though the upgrade time is longer there, life seems like it would be a little better there while you are an FO. Seems like a more stable company too with better work rules. And with the way this industry goes, I'm just thinking who knows where this industry is going to be in 5-10 years. If I end up a lifer at a regional, Eagle seems a little better. any thoughts?
