Hey, I appreciate the input! I'm sort of in that situation as you were in regards to instructing. Most of us do it as a timebuilder and nothing more. There is a good reason for that as it gets old and sometimes leads to pilots quiting altogether. So, as I get closer to the mins, I am looking at the best chance at getting hired. I can tell you Colgan will be one place where my resume goes, but if a jet job was offered, that would be the likely choice. I'm one of those kids (19) who isn't going to get a fast upgrade, so I will have to make my choice based upon what's best at the time. Once again, thanks for all the advice. That's a reason why I come here is to learn.
