yeah everybody uses that type of rationalization until either two things happen....................YOUR STILL an FO dealing with their bull****.........................or your a CA making 50k (Barely)a year not getting any bites by the MAJORS an you realize that the past 5 years of your life has not only been less than lucrative, but you have been beaten up and treated like dirt the whole time by your company

I know I know I know CA's at COLGAN are leaving every day to DAL, SWA, CAL, UPS, AIrtran, JB blah blah I know all about it

or i get on w/ a major whileyour still an FO at xjt?

Most of the places Colgan captains are going aren't places I'm interested in . JB, AirTran, North American, Miami Air.. no thanks.

I doubt too many will be going to DAL, UPS, FDX, Cathay, Emirates, or lucrative corporate jobs flying anything larger than a CJ2.

IF you get on.. what if you get stuck at Colgan ? Given current upgrade time at XJT it is rather doubtful that you will be at a major and he will still be a FO.

Well upgrade is 2 years here at XJT at least thats what i am upgrading at. Whats it at Colgan? I got nothing against colgan but XJT was a much better choice for me. I made more money as a 2nd year FO at XJT than i would as a first year capt at Colgan.

A CA at Colgan is lucky to break $40k
