wait wait....there are people out there that are defending a training contract and the chance to make low 20's an hour in a large T.P.....
Am I wrong in thinking that there is something seriously wrong with this picture?
Not just wrong like "Colgan and Republic are pure evil" wrong, but wrong like "i know this is a bad situation but its all i got" wrong.

They have a training contract now? HAH! I scored 144 hrs of turbine off of them over 6 months and just got to walk when they tried to put me on historical block in EWR. That's just obscene, Quitting was the best feedback they could get and now they are taking that away? Loosers, I want them out of my city.
Perhaps when you have a little more time you will realize how silly "scored 144 hrs of turbine time" sounds. But I will give you credit: at your pace, you would have flown 288 hours that year, I just can't seem to get under the 300 hour per year mark.
"They go through the motions, repeat the power points as fast as they can and go home," recalled Zaite, who was hired with just 507 flight hours, 25 hours of it on multiengine aircraft like the twin turboprops at CommutAir.
Inexperience shows up in the cockpit, said a CommutAir captain, who asked not to be identified because he feared repercussions for talking to the press.
"It's very exhausting for me to monitor [co-pilots] because I have my own duties," he said.
Methinks fo Zaite may have come to the game a little early.
