Wow! There is a major disconnect here. People truly only care about themselves now a days. It's pretty sad to see the ignorance. No offense but one day when mommy and daddy stop paying your bills and flying has to become a job to support your family and not just some image to carry so you can tell girls your a "regional aviator" and sing songs to them at the bar, you will see it. It will all make sense. Some people on here think they can change the world. Don't we all wish. The problem is much deeper than APC.
Sure the pay is livable. QOL at any airline is better than being a peasant. But you know that management makes all of it's financial decisions on "how low will they go". They are pumped right now because of people like the ones we see right here in this thread. Heck the don't even have to ask you. They know how low you will go just by looking here. Just so some share holders can make a few bucks. Just so they can work the numbers to make it look like they have a lot more cash than there really is and work on their magical bonuses.
Call it cynical but you'll see one day. Then again, maybe not.

There is a reason why he refuses to say who he works for because he is afraid people will call his bluff from the airline he claims to work for

Who I work for makes no difference about the FACT Colgan pays their FO's poverty pay.
The fact is you need to stop worrying who I work for and start fixing the problem at your company. Most on here will agree with me on this issue.

FO Interview 1
I had my interview the other day. It went great.. I'm really hoping I get this job. This will be my first time in the airline industry and it's going to great working with a company that is very family oriented! Good luck to the other guys who interview with me!

This is perfect example of a person you should ignore. Juice is so worried about who I work for, that he won't address the poor pay Colgan FO's receive.

Last time I checked, CJC is in contract negotiations.
Out of curiosity, why don't you tell us what YOU'VE done to better the profession? That is, besides being a keyboard hero???

Pretty sad huh?
Unemployment even pays more than a year 2 FO flying the CRJ-900 at your company, Mesa. While Delta pays their year 2 FO's, $63,000 to fly the same size aircraft. That is before the additional money they get with all the other benefits you don't have.
Keep trying to discredit the truth. This is actually getting pretty funny.

The pay is still terrible at Colgan until its fixed. Just because you are in negotiations doesn't mean it is still a good thing to work for those wages.
As for what I've done to better the profession? For starters, how about I don't accept jobs at places that pay their pilots food stamp wages, such as Colgan.

I didn't realize $18,000/year was more than enough to raise a family in EWR.
