The potential newhires should be asking themselves how a Mesaba/Colgan merger will affect the pace of upgrades...and is this a place you want to spend alot of time at slinging gear???

Looks like the only thing Colgan had to offer (relatively quick upgrades) is about to go away.

Im sure they flipped the plane right side up and said it was fine to go for the next student.

Back in the day, management's mantra was "move the student," which evolved to "move the rig"

As a Mesaba furlough, that will probably get an offer to come to Colgan or Pinnacle, I have a quick question.

What are the junior bases for Colgan? If I agree to come on board to Colgan where whould I get based? It looks like IAH would be the best for commuting to me, but I don't know my chances at getting based there. It's a big part of the decision as to whether I come to Colgan or choose Pinnacle....or decline all together.

Any info would be great. Thanks.
