An upgrade and PIC time! As was MY expectation when I started at Pinnacle in 2007. Instead, I'm now approaching 4 years as a FO with no upgrade in sight. Don't even get me started with "career expectation" coming from a Colgan pilot! Had I been at Colgan, I would have a been CA in the top half of the list. Instead, my holding company used our hard-earned money to buy your crappy airline and then buy you Q400s with that money. All the while WE were told our ALPA-contract proposal would have bankrupted our airline. So SHOVE IT! I don't wanna hear it from ANY Colgan guy. You deserve a staple as far as I'm concerned, because our airline saved your sorry-excuse of an airline, and you guys took all the career expectations away from us, when our money was used to buy, grow, and expand you.... at MY expense.

Ok, with emotions out, take the staple out. But DOH is FAIR. It is crediting you for TIME you SPENT at YOUR airline. PERIOD. I am 100% for DOH. And if Colgan wants to beotch and moan about it, lets do DOH with a small fence enough to protect their own Tprop flying and upgrades. That's the fairest thing I can think of.
