Any Colgan FO that moves from the Saab to the Q for same pay is crazy. 74 seats for $21/hr 1st year then $26/hr 2nd year?
Why would Colgan/PNCL mgmt ever pay more for Q pilots when Saab guys are moving over for the same pay?

That is so sad. You should be figuring out how not to fly that thing if there going to give you NO increase in pay.

Hmmm same pay, Saab goes slower, I'd say there's NO reason to switch. Same thing I told the FO's at Mesaba that switched from Saab to CR9. Those that didn't listen are learning the hard way now....

Cruise speed does not matter in this comparison. The Q may cruise faster but it is based out of EWR so more time on the ground waiting, so it washes.
The bottom line is the Q holds more than twice that of the Saab. You are carrying twice as much revenue for the company for the same pay as the 34 seater Saab.
We now know there are at least 15 more Q's coming and FO's willing to fly it for peanuts is crazy.
