Colgan: The Real Deal
ok guys, I know that last thread got a huge response, but all I want to know is one thing from the colgan guys: If you could do it all over again, would you go there? plain and simple: is it worth it for a few years? for one year? i just want to cut to the chase and see if it’s better to choose 6 more months of instructing or a year of 121 experience with the folks at colgan. let the venting begin....

correct me if im wrong, but with around 1000 TT will colgan hire you with around 50 Multi? If they will then the advantage I see to it would be to go there for a year and get some 121 turbine multi time then make the lateral move to a better regional. Other than that its off to the 135 world to bulid that extra multi time there, then apply to the regionals. Either way I have to try and avoid spending the extra 5K on multi time.

You know i was playing somewhat naive, my gut said thats what he meant.
It comes down to this little thing called integrity, and yes LAFF sleeping comfortably at night. Seniority is everything bla bla bla, ill wait the extra few months or year to know that when i sit down at an interview i can be confident to know that book is completely legit!
