For the record, I don't consider all of those airlines to be on the same level, that was the original quote.
Confused about the hours I had a year ago, or confused about my "full-time instructing job" a year ago, or confused about my statement that a lot of bashers might actually change their tune if their circumstances changed? I left full-time management two years ago to get some multi time at a different school so I could try to "catch the hiring boom". Too late! I was quickly put in management and sales - again. Underpaid, so I went back to my original company and recently realized how much I want to fly instead of sitting at a desk and capping out at $60-70K with no real benefits.
Now I want to fly!!
Sure, someone might comment that I left one job because the working conditions were terrible and I was underpaid, so "why Colgan"? I can fly, finish my master's, get turbine PIC time sooner, and go work OVERSEAS - where they actually know how to pay pilots what they are worth!!
