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.
Eagle looks like NASA compared to Colgan.

The defining difference? A legally binding CBA. Seriously guys, get a Union. Preferably ALPA, or at least something. With the industry slow, there's no telling how long you'll be where you're at.
