6- What are the reserve rules if any?
7- Does the company have cancellation pay?
8- Does the company pay block or better?
9- What are the health benefits?
10- Are the work rules at par with the rest of the industry?
11- Does the company have an excellent training program?
12- How safe is the operation?
13- What is the financial strength of the company?
14- Is your certificate and safety will ever be compromised?
15- What is the sick or Fatigue policy?
16- Vacation time?
17- Company 401K match?

Do not chase a quick upgrade; it will never happen in this time and age. Upgrade time changes so quickly. Look at Mesa, upgrade time used to be less than 10 month.

Good Luck
Can't really do that right now! It's not like it was 2 years ago when you could nit pick things you like and dislike. Get the job! Get experience in a 121 enviornment and if it's that horrible move on when the industry picks up! I don't understand why people get so upset about other people decisions! Worry about yourself and let them be big boys or girls. I've been at colgan for almost two years and honestly it's not bad. Anyone have questions about colgan that don't want to get harrassed pm me and I'll be more then happy to help you to the best of my knowledge. Good luck to those who interview.
