I flew with a street captain yesterday who flew the Saab, ATR and ERJ145 with Eagle for 6 years. He has about 450 TPIC now with Colgan since November and has about 4000 hours of SIC time.

He does however say that Colgan is run like a circus, and he actually made more money with Eagle because of the work rules.

You have to pick your poison I guess.
