Thoughts on Colgan?

As I start my search for a possible regional job, I am looking at different regionals where my QOL would be best. Colgan would be great because it is very close to home. Anyway, what is everyone's thoughts and feelings on colgan? Flying time, upgrade time, etc.

Any other regionals? I'm around 500TT and 60ME.

I think staffing will be even more of an issue when they get the Q400. They won't any issues staffing that airplane because current Colgan pilots will get on that plane but they will have a hard time with the SAAB 340.

I know people have their issues with Colgan and I respect their opinions, but I think Colgan might be a good fit for myself. If they are going to USE me then I will USE them and move on in a few years. Who know's, just have to wait and see. Any current Colgan pilots wish to add their 2 cents?
