Just finished my first year as a Colgan FO. This is what has been in the past no telling what will happen in the future.

If you live at home at Colgan you have arguably the best QOL in the industry. There are guys who work Monday thru Thursday 5AM-11AM or Monday thru Thursday 11AM-8PM. If you put in your time with the company, they will accomodate you and the schedule YOU want. You can't get that in other places. Many that have other businesses that they run.

However, with that said, Colgan is not a place most want to stay their career. It is what it is, the pay will be ok but not great. You will have opportunities to join the training department, do sim evals, become a check airman in time, but expect to top out around 70,000-90,000 (in todays money) here. The travel benefits are great and the heathcare plan is pretty good.

Also remember that bases close. Who knows what could happen in the future.
