Would the CAL pilots be willing to fly the Q400 at Colgan wages to make the flights economical?

That's heresy. They can fly them for FAIR wages and still be economical!

Correct. If the Q can fly 50% more pax than a 50 seat RJ with 25% less of the operating cost there should be more money to go around for the pilots.

Don't worry Joe. Colgan is not taking over the entire country of Mexico, contrary to popular belief on this forum. There is plenty of Mexico for XJet, and more importantly, plenty of buring poo for us all.
