Talk about being under a microscope. I'm sure whoever gets hired is going to be highly scrutinized by the training department and the Feds. They'll probably have Randy Babbitt sitting in the back of the simulator the whole time.
No flame intended what-so-ever. Its good to see some hiring going on.

If it's true, then it's nice to see some hiring going on.
On the other hand, it is kinda sad that folks will flock to the same airline that was under federal scrutiny about not paying their First Officer's a livable wage. All in all, what can you expect i guess?

This is not a Colgan thing, it is a industry wide problem.
Also, the Colgan FO who died in 3407, Rebecca Shaw, was making more an hour than your airline pays their second year FO's.
Pay sucks everywhere, funny a TSA guy who has FO's making $25 on second year pay is throwing stones.

Are you high? The entire REGIONAL INDUSTRY is under "federal scrutiny" about not paying their pilots, especially FO's, a livable wage.

Maybe it's all a trick. Then management can say to Congress: "see, look how many people are willing to work for this pay."

What planes are they hiring people for? Saabs, Dash8? I thought they were starting to close all or most of the outbases in the MidAtlantic other than IAD and Newark (Sorry don't know the 3 letters for that.) I also heard that if you weren't going to live within driving distances of the base, getting there was going to be more difficult. Some have suggested that you will have to buy a ticket. I have only heard a few things so I really don't know.
I figured Colgan would lay low and suddenly reappear as just Pinnacle.
