Default Colgan Air Placement

I am hoping to go to Ari-Ben Aviator next year for the 100hr multi building program. My goal is to have at least 600-700 hours by the time I enter (currently around 260) I noticed on their site it said job placement w/Colgan Airlines for those with 600-700hrs total time. My question is how many graduates from Ari-Ben have gone on to CJ? From what I understand they're always desperate for pilots. Thanks!

Most of the placements at Colgan are for the students who do all their training at Ari-Ben and instruct with them...

From what I hear...you can most likely get an interview with 50 me.

you may, don't bank on getting hired. Lowest ME I heard was the bare minimum 100multi with about 900+ total.

From what I remember I was hired with about 850/190....But you can check my previous posts for that one.

Their requirements are 1000 total and 100mel. However, alot of their pilots were hired with about 600 total and 100mel. I haven't seen anyone really below 100mel. www.aviationinterviews.com

In the past year, I think there have been at least 15 - 20 former Aviator students that have been hired by Colgan.
