I don't mean to be spiteful or sound jealous (i am) but stay were you are. I work for Colgan and you will never see those bases for a long time, besides the fact of getting beaten down in either the saab or beech with hardly any work rules. Looking from the outside in seem's all rosey colored and i will admit i think most of us are guilty of the same crime but trust us in saying its not all that.

You willingly work for a company that pays only 18K. What kind of high-life were you expecting?

No sir i don't make 18k more like 27000 this year and probably 40000 next year, but that wasn't the point i was making. To many people willing to fly for free, i didn't go to college for 4yrs and get all my ratings to watch people come here and take it up the back side because money isn't important to them. So when the FO's that need to make more than 23dollars an hr their second year think they deserve a raise you get this guy coming here and saying no we don't need a raise. And this is happening all over the industry. "O flyings so fun I will do it for free". Hell ya Colgan would love this guy because he's basically said that he would fly for nothing because he just doesn't have any worries financially.

Mr. LA you are probably older than I am so I can understand your distaste at my comment. But sometimes it is better to listen than talk or in this case read and not type. It seems that you have only been on this forum for 6more months than me but have posted something like 1150 post compared to my 50. That being said, who do you fly for and what kind of experience to you bring to this particular post. I for one fly at Colgan and feel a little more in the know. Not saying that just because you don't fly 121 doesn't mean your not intitled to your opinion but try posting on things you know about and try listening a little more you might learn something. I come on APC almost every night and read a lot but don't feel the need to responded to things that i don't know anything about!
