That's the point. It was supposed to be ridiculous to see if Colgan really wants relative to protect what they have... or crossover with a windfall.
Your squawking makes me think you were licking your chops at the possibility of telling some poor Pinnacle FO (who has been working twice as long as you) "Gear up, Speed mode. uh... um.. Autopilot on?"
We don't need no stinkin' autopilots... and speed mode? How about I just select IAS mode for myself... you super jet kids confuse us poor dumb country folk. You need FMS whereas I need a VOR... you need an APU but all I need is a whiskey hatch... you bring fancy gadgets to pass the time while I bring a fresh can of Copenhagen... you see the difference between us? You can have the jet while I keep my 20min commute to work.
