If this keeps up and we do get the 15Q's next year, I can easily see every FO we have right now (with the exceptions of possibly the brand new guys coming online this year) upgrading by April of 2012. I don't mean to sound like the "car salesman" here, but if you look at the numbers on the Preferential Bid Award it makes sense.
Ok, so you clearly work for Colgan (as do I) ... this is your second time at this airline apparently ... already upgraded, but are now back as a FO??... and have no desire to move on to a major???? *** did you come back?? lol
Well, I need a paycheck would be the most logical reason that I am back here. Fortunately, I had a good reputation during my previous stint here and still enjoy a good reputation with the people I fly with. Personally, at this point in my life I really would rather be home everyday taking care of my daughter vs. flying around the same crappy places we fly to. As for Blueskies, he received my wrath after his sarcastic and ignorant reply. And, I actually have a number of friends at XJET. And, where I came from you don't "flip-off" ANYONE, ANYWHERE...Rant complete...back to your regular programming, and I am actually more than glad to answer any questions about the Colgan BE-19 sim for those that have an upcoming interview...I know a "tad" bit about it.
