I dont think you should be stapled... but some of what he says is true... back in 06 and 07 how many of your guys left Colgan and went to Republic and Compass? Colgan is or "was" a place that "some" people went to that didnt have enough time to go somewhere else or better (however you want to look at it). I dont know much about the 2011 Colgan, but the 03 to 07 Colgan was a place many people HAD to go to.. not wanted.
Come on while I feel your pain about how you my end up on this SLI you cant tell me that Colgan brought much more to 9E other then an operating cert to put Q's on. It was very likely that Colgan was going to go TU before 9E bought them. The Colgan's were broke and so was the airline. Now just because 9E saved Colgan doesnt mean you should be stapled. But all that you have now is because of 9E... thats a fact.
