I heard they may charge something like 18K too. hahahaha. You'll find a lot of nice people at colgan. The pilots are all pretty good, and so are the people in manassas. Just remember the 5% rule. At any place 5% of the people will be &ssholes. And colgan is no exception. No union here, seniority means very little here. They will offer bases to people that are junior to others that want them, same goes for captain upgrade. if you keep your head low, and do whatever they tell you....you will get along with management fine. You want to make sure you are very nice and polite to crew scheduling, and the lady that makes the schedules each month. You are a PFTer, and pretty much all the pilots here know it, the way to fit in is just be nice to everyone, and don't act like you know everything. i am not saying all PFTers act like they do, but this is what the other pilots will be looking out for when they meet you. Possibly as much of a third of our pilots bought there job at gulfstream, and then got on with colgan....so if you are a PFTer trying to fit in....colgan will probably be easier to accomplish this than other airlines.
