well I was based up in ALB initially at Colgan and I was on reserve for 6 months at COLGAN, I only got off reserve when I base traded to ABE. COMAIR's future is quite unstable right now, but any airline you pick is a gamble so ya never know. Where do you want to go? Where do you want to live? Do you want union protection? Do you want to fly a Turbo-prop, or a jet (SAAB is awesome). Pay? QOL? All those should be what leads to the final decision of which airline to pick. Either way if you get an interview at ANY AIRLINE, go never hurts for the experience and also never hurts to have a few options on the table

P.S. Upgrade for you at Colgan would not be 18 months!!!!!!!!! I have buddies that have been there a year and they have 60-80 Fo's that need to upgrade before them, and right now my buddies say they are upgrading 3 a month and the 60-80'fo's is for guys that were hired a year ago imagine how many there would be aheadof you, if go there
