I'm just a CFI, but I believe it's because janitors don't ***** themselves out to "live the dream"?

First rule. Never trust a pilot when they tell you anything about their company. Most of us have heard it second hand or are just guessing.

On that note, when I was in ground a few weeks ago the CP said that we would be running an FO class in January.

Also, refer to rule number one. It was heard first hand but I still wouldnt read too much into it.

I don't work for Colgan, but here is the info I got...

Colgan Air will be starting to hire 158 pilots in the spring of 2010 for classes starting in May. Colgan Air is NOT hiring pilots at this time, but accepting applications.
