195
I'll hit all of them just to make sure- leave no stone uncovered. If I see a gorgeous 195 roll up I will come out and greet the distinguished gentleman that disembarks. Any town is what you make of it, given a little luck perhaps. A bad neighbor can do a lot to ruin things in my experience but that's uncommon, and every town has at least a few things to offer. I would look forward to an aviation-rich environment in a town like Wichita. That's a pretty special feature for a town to offer.

Hey everyone,
Just a quick heads up since this site has contributed to 7/8th of the knowledge I currently posess. I had a busy Thursday and Friday this week. On Thursday I drove from Boston to Teterboro to ATP to take my ATP written and was there all day and left with a 91%. That night I drove to LGA and stayed in a hotel for a Friday morning interview.
I interviewed with Colgan and was hired, it was my first and only choice and it fits my profile of what I was looking for. (no comments SAABROOSKI)
I am not going to training until late oct or so and I am expecting the SAAB but they are going to call me in a few weeks because I may be needed for the Q (again no comments about Q pay SAAB)
I am pretty set on the SF340 though because it has a great upgrade time and has a base 30 minutes from my house (MHT) when the Q will currently only be in EWR.
One of the only benefits to the Q is captain pay is 10 dollars more than the Saab and being in the first class would give me good seniority to pick a good line which would possibly make being based in EWR and having a crashpad better. But I really think there will be no substitute for the QOL that being based 30 minutes from home will provide.
So thats it...my news, over and out

But moving up from flight instructing to one is definately a bonus.
