Yes because the current Colgan FO's refuse to work for those wages. Just like they will have trouble filling CA spots when they take more Q's.

EXACTLY.

But the anti-Colgan guys think that if you work there- you're immediately a SCAB.

I'm glad to see Colgan pilots sticking up for themselves.

Oh, don't worry. Horizon's management informs us that we'll soon be 'migrating to market' with our pay rates! That means a paycut of about $20/hr for me to keep flying the Megawhacker (Q400). How about we migrate you guys up to us, instead?! I'm almost positive that our CEO, with his 'car allowance' rounding out $2.5M/yr in compensation has enough money now.

In the November in-doc class (combined Saab and Q), all the folks over 30 who were asked if they wanted the Q refused it. The "Q-tips" (as we affectionately called them) were between 20 and 24.

As I sat in class with them, I realized how naive (of the industry) they were and how several of them had SNTPS (Shiny New Turbo Prop Syndrome).
