I think the point is they do whats right for them, they don't do charity and if someone thinks they are helping people getting through becuase they are "looking out for their employees" they are kidding themselves, they don't have anyone else, that already are scraping the bottom of the barrel, hence this new BS program they developed....................( you don't see Air Wisconsin, Chautauqua, Expressjet, Comair, SkyWest, Mesaba doing this do you?



Colgan sucks for a lot of reasons, and I am actually getting tired of telling people why Colgan is not a good airline, and why it sucks, it just does.................Quick upgrade Quick upgrade, thats all I hear out of you people, I swear what makes you guys different from Gulfstream guys, "Getting 121 experience, getting 121 experience" Is it worth it, yeah I suffer now, but hey once I get my 1,000PIC Turbine I am out the door, on my way to FedEx, CAL, DELTA, UPS.................wake up Peter Pan, this isn't a fairy tail, it is real and by pilots working for sub-standard pay and work rules you are sending a very clear message to management, "Hey Chuck I'll prostitute myself out for 40k a year as a Q CA, hell I'll be at CAL by this time next year..............

Why don't you join the PINNACLE PILOTS amongst others that will be in EWR on FEB 4 protesting the Q's and managements BS that is coming along with it.\



This will be my last and final comment about COLGAN................................

Might of needed a 70%, and got a 69%, whatever it was he missed by one and they showed him no sympathy...............

true. don't be confused: the pilot development program is NOT 121 initial training. Colgan does pay one during 121 initial training
