Colgan seems to have bases that are unaffordable unless you live in a dorm like place or you are faced to commute.
Anyways, I value all of your input. Thanks to all.
Great choice. Colgan is a gamble, you could be furloughed or worse be a 5 year FO stuck somewhere in the northeast. You know what you're going to get at Key Lime, good pay and stability. Both places offer prop TPIC but Colgan is a one way street to other airlines, while Key Lime offers both major and pt135 opportunities down the road. Especially the fractionals like NJ they give priority to pilots from places like Key Lime.
