It is funny how scared you are about there being some mass exodus to the CRJ from Colgan. Trust me, you want our butts in your planes as much as we want your butts in ours.

I tend to agree with some of your logic. If I wanted to fly a jet I would have applied to a company that flies jets. I have no desire to bid any of PNCLs aircraft. Of course everyone probably wants fences up because it is natural to not want anyone senior to you taking over your turf. It is what it is though and we will see what happens.

As far as RAH's contract restrictions, I've heard nothing but heartache from some of RAH's pilots over it. Getting stuck in a domicile/AC when you could have better QOL on the another AC/certificate, but because you have a blended BS pay rate you're stuck until upgrade. Think about this, you’re working the CHQ cert on the E in DEN when you’re wife gets a job in ATL. Now you’re forced to commute even though your company has an ATL domicile (that your # can hold) on the a/c you currently fly. But you’re stuck on the CHQ cert because of your contract and seeing that your already flying the highest paying a/c in the fleet, you can never switch certs and therefore screwed.

Chautauqua does not have domiciles in either DEN or ATL. If we did have bases at those airports, you could switch back and forth every other month if you wanted (assuming you didn't get locked out by senior people filling your vacancy).
Everybody flying on the Chautauqua certificate is flying the LOWEST-paying aircraft on property at RAH. We fly the tiny planes, so we get the tiny paychecks.

"There are a lot of guys that went Colgan because they only had 300hrs and wanted to get their foot in a 121 carrier to one day fly those jets. SJSers"
Isn't it PCL that has the deal with JetU? That's just as bad from a SJS standpoint.

And what are the regionals for if it is not to use as a stepping stone to the majors? Who took a job with the regionals saying I'm never leaving here. Lets not have another hours debate.
