Cant comment on whether or not you should commute to Colgan but the quote is impressive. I know MANY folks on the corporate side with years of experience and a few types who couldnt buy an interview if they tried. However you are going about getting callbacks is a good formula.

Since the only fractionals interviewing are Alpha and Avantair your earning potential at Colgan is greater, cant speak for QOL as I know nothing about your situation.
