I was tossing around the idea of trying out Colgan. I've done 7 years as a "regional" pilot, so I had no illusions of what the pay and life style are like. I was out of the game a couple years and Colgan was one of the few options to get back in at the present time.

I must say that Colgan's hiring process is pretty whack. They have no idea of what they've told you in the past. It seems they can't plan more than a few days into the future. A couple times I was offered interviews, but always within a week of when I was contacted. I had no time to get off of work, etc. This last time I knew they were interviewing the 16th-17th and ask if I could interview then. I was told "No, that's too far away and I'm just trying to take care of getting interviews scheduled for the 3rd". This was the end of last week.

Luckily I have gotten a better offer. I'm glad I held out and didn't jump right it at the very first chance. I don't feel quite so cheap anymore.
