Especially the fractionals like NJ they give priority to pilots from places like Key Lime.
Colgan is no more likely to furlough anyone then Key Lime, especially considering we are past the darkest days of the recession and we are about to almost double in size! I don't know if anyone has ever made it to the 5th year FO payscale at Colgan.
Fractionals like any other employer when in need will not care if you have Santa SIC time as long as you have the certificates, the time and sometimes a good rec!
