Default Colgan Air or Pinnacle

Given the choice, which airline job offer would you accept? Colgan or Pinnacle.

A major factor in this decision is where YOU want to live, I think.

If I was given the choice, I would choose Colgan. Company seems a bit more stable now, pay is not amazing, but better than most t-prop jobs, and the upgrade is more than likely to be superior to Pinnacle's. While some Pinnacle guys I know have upgraded quickly (within 2 years), and the current attrition may continue to allow that to happen, Pinnacle looks like the riskier play to me.

Just my guess...this market is a crapshoot, roulette wheel, poker game, and tetris match all in one. Follow your hunch/heart.

Do you want to have a QOL or do you want the fast upgrade?

Fast upgrade I am assuming would be Colgan.

Quality of life would be which ever company has a base where you live. If neither then I would do some homework and try to talk to guys that work at both and see how happy or ticked off they are to work there and whether their commute is easy or hard.

Good Luck!
