Yes they do. Make sure you study, as there were several people that were asked to leave in my interview group (must score greater than 80%).

A few months ago things were looking a little touch and go with my current job, so I did an interview with these guys. Yes, it's not the best place in the world. That's pretty obvious. But I figured it didn't hurt to have another option in case I started getting desperate.

As far as getting the interview... I'm not sure why, but after I sent an app via CT350 it all came together fairly quickly. Chuck called a couple of days later, and requested I fill out the airlineapps.com info. Shortly afterwards I was invited to an interview in LGA, but had to reschedule for MCO due to a work conflict.

The interview was pretty straightforward but thorough. The Colgan staff were all actually very nice, and I more or less enjoyed myself throughout the two day interview. At the end, Chuck asked if I could join a class starting two weeks from then, but I couldn't as it was cutting it a little close with giving notice to my current employer. A few days later I was offered the 4/20 class. I did some serious thinking about it, and initially accepted it. Shortly after, things changed fairly dramatically at my current job. We're definitely keeping the plane, and it looks like I might have some pretty good opportunities in the short term future. It was just WAY too much to pass up (financially and other wise), so I notified Colgan that I was staying with my employer. They were pleasant about it, though I'm sure that bridge is burned... Which is really not that big of a deal to me, to be perfectly honest.

Anyway, the point of my rambling story is that sometimes heading to a place like Colgan is a tough but perhaps necessary decision, depending on your circumstances. I was lucky I guess, so I got to avoid having to really consider it at the last second. Those of you that can make that lifestyle work, my hat's off to you. I don't know that I'd be willing to deal with it.
