Agreed. But Colgan is in no better position than any other Regional. They might be on to something with the fuel efficient Q400's, but their business practices and management philosophy makes them less profitable. Look at how much money they piss away in repos and their "crew utilization" practices.

The Regionals suck. Period. I just hope RAH is stable enough to allow me to upgrade, get the PIC and get the heck out. I don't think I could deal with the stress of "Will I have a job tomorrow or will MESA undercut our contract?" for the rest of my career.
