please, don't compare Colgan to anything.
it's the biggest scam airline out there. Their directors call up people's names from the resumes they get by mail and say "your resume looks good, and we're interested, but you have to apply online and pay $38."
They never call back once you pay them, like many other pilots out there.
The pilot group may be a nice bunch of people in Colgan, but the airline is just a low life joke ... if RAA students get in there, hey, going from scam to scam isn't all that bad, is it (get used to it by now).
