logbook check was a long process....
both of the check airmen were younger.....

For someone who only went for the "interview experience", you sure sound bitter.



For everyone else thinking about interviewing, here are some facts:

You will be asked about failed checkrides.
Your logbook will be examined.
First year pay is $21/hour with 75 hours guaranteed.
You WILL be on reserve until you can hold a line (how long it will take to hold is line is anyone's guess).
Reserve is almost always 5 on 2 off (commuting is hard to impossible).
You will probably be assigned to the Saab.
Some of our pilots and check airmen are young.
Colgan (and probably all other regionals) don't have the time, money, or the need to help a new hire build character or struggle through his mistakes.


If those obvious things are deal breakers, don't waste your time on the interview.
