Before you start bragging about short upgrades, hiring and new aircraft at Colgan, you should be asking yourself why it's happening at Colgan!
That depends. What are you looking for at a regional? Personally, I'm not looking at a regional as my final career stop. So I want a regional that is at least somewhat decent with good movement, so I can move on to where I really want to be: major/legacy. That's why I chose Pinnacle, along with 95% of other pilots who came to Pinnacle. Now no one saw the financial meltdown coming of 2007-2010 (except the corrupt financial/government officials, another story for another thread). So, we're all stuck now until the hiring picks up again. But I'll be honest. I'd much rather be a Colgan CA on the Q400 in EWR than a Eagle FO in DFW. But that's just me...
