As of today no street capts. There is plenty of FOs ready for upgrade. So we should be good to go.

I usually agree with your posts but not in this case. Colgan is what it and all the regionals are - a stepping stone for most. To all who aspire to fly for a career, get hired as quickly as you can and start building experience so you can create greater opportunities for yourselves. Disregard all the negative and self-rightous complainers on these forums. Get hired, develop your skills, gain experience, and have fun.

Amen!! If you decide that a regional is the place you wanna be for the rest of your career then I would nit pick the likes and dislikes, qol, pay, etc... But as he explained all regionals for most of us are stepping stones.

From my understanding via a buddy who was there on Sat and Sun they usually use AA's medical center at the Medporte however since it was sunday they were closed.

ALso my buddy got a contingent offer earlier this morning best of luck to those who interviewed

The regionals are not much of a stepping stone anymore... with upgrade times going upward of 5 to 8 years. The regioanls are now almost a career. If Colgan is a place you want to spend the next 5 to 10 years then more power to you.
Pinnacle is bad enough for me, I hear doing the Colgan is worse (if thats possible)
