Take into consideration the following before you decide Colgan is somewhere you want to work:

> Even though more Q400s are on the way, Saabs are being parked

I don't have a dog in this fight. I just pay attention to it all because I find it interesting. But in my opinion, those quick upgrades are gone. Things are going to get really bad for everyone involved, and especially bad for those at the bottom.
Go somewhere that treats its employees better and pays better. You'll probably upgrade just as quick there.
