Of all the Colgan pilots I have spoken with over the past few months most tend to say it's not a bad place to be and the crews are great people. Especially if you live in base the qol is pretty good. And if your spouse works it's an even better situation. Most pilots will not make a career out of Colgan Air and I see no reason why one could not enjoy a good QOL and build your turbine pic time and move on to the major's, fractional or whatever. I just got hired last week and look forward to my time there and we'll just have to see what the next 6 mos-1yr bring. If I can spend more time at home and see my daughter grow up it will be worth some of the bs that I might encounter. We all have to make sacrifices here and there. Which ones you make are up to your needs.

SAAB, you were just at the wrong base at the wrong time. Being on reserve for so long at a MX base must suck so bad. But I can tell you it is not that bad..I have had one MX flight since I have been here and only a few days reserve in which I slept through.
