Have you met any Colgan pilots on here that disagree with this? We're all doing what we can but even if we were getting paid the same as Express Jet pilots our pay would still suck. We lost our union drive by 4 votes, what are you going to do?

In the meantime lets hope age 65 and a possible recession doesn't completely screw all of our chances of working at a real airline.
