Default Colgan vs. Comair

Hello, this is my first thread so all of you take it easy on me.

But seriously, here is my question. I have a potential offer for the Colgan class in Jan. However, i have a Comair interview in Dec. I am trying to decide what the best route to take would be.

On one hand, i could go to Colgan, upgrade to Cpt. in 18 months or so and start building that precious turbine PIC time. Pilots there do not sit on reserve so they are flying hard from day one. In theory, 5 years down the road, have the PIC time to head to the legacys

On the other, hypothetically speaking, if i go the comair route, from what i read, i would be sitting right seat for 6-7 years. Also, from what i read, pilots are sitting on reserve up to a year at comair (XJT. Eagle, etc). The Upgrade times are alot longer here so it would take quite a bit longer to head to the majors.

I would love to hear from you guys who have gone through this process already. Thanks a bunch
