If her choice is Eagle, Great Lakes, or Colgan, do Colgan hands down! One thing is for sure at Eagle: long upgrades. Their most recent vacancy went to a 09/2004 hire, so they are "down" to a 6 year upgrade. Meanwhile at Colgan, the latest preliminary award shows a Saab Captain award of a 2010 hire! Add the fact Colgan is getting multiple Q400s from now until April 2011, your friend WILL upgrade at Colgan in less than a year, provided he/she has the time.
