I wouldn't come to Colgan for a specific outstation base. It can close on you. As long as your friend has a few bases he wouldn't mind living at he should be ok. My roommate in training just got MHT as an FO and it took him 1 year. Getting a base as an FO really is all about timing. If you come in when there's movement you may get lucky and get it right away, if not you may be waiting a long time. When I got HPN it took me 3 months as an FO. Same base took the FO senior to me 9 months to get, and an FO junior to me got it right out of training. Shortly after I got HPN the company decided to take the Beech out of there and make it an all Saab base, so I lost it a few months after I got it.
