The majors are hiring and Colgan has quick upgrades so I think you are in a good spot, especially if you have other military experience, and if you have an "in" somewhere else, more power to you, thats great. XJT works well for me, because I live near EWR and I need to make more than I could at Colgan to survive, but if you have another income and the pay at Colgan won't be an issue, again, more power to ya. The Q is an impressive airplane for the most part and you will enjoy,

For what its worth:

no place is as great as it may seem, and no place is as bad as it may seem

Good luck and welcome to APC,
