Yep. Colgan has a quick upgrade. He should look there.

You know what? I have 6 years in at ASA, am 150-200 from upgrade (don't want to be too specific). If Compass or CommutAir started hiring street captains, I'd go! There's no hope for upgrade in 2013 at ASA.

Go to GoJet then. As soon as you have 4500TT and 300hrs with the company you upgrade.

Hey Spud, I just hired on at ASA and I'm almost 50 years old. If I stay I'll be nearly 60 before I upgrade and ASA may not even be around by then. It's all relative.

Damn 150-200?!? That is close haha.....5 years next month and I am 500+ away. I have pretty much accepted it isn't going to happen here. We are not going to need PIC time here soon anyway.

The last 5 years at Colgan would have got you a Saab 340 type, Dash 8 type, around 3,000 hours of precious 121 PIC and 4 years of captain pay. Compare that to someone who spent the last 5 years at any other regional and Colgan doesn't look so bad now does it?

And I would have had to commute, get a crash pad, and could not have worked my other 2 businesses, which would have cost me quite a bit of money, not to mention many days away from home. Good thing I didn't go to colgan.
