So what happens when you make captain? Is it back to the bottom of a seniority list again which means you are probably moving to a junior base again?

You can bid for captain in a specific base, but it may take longer to upgrade. Most bid for captain in all bases. So yes, you'll be back at the bottom of the CA list, and probably in a junior base.

Ooops, I forgot to add a crash pad. So your take home will still be $10k, but your net will be $6-8k.

And that raises the eternal question: Is it better to be the #1 FO, get any line you wish, and live in base (or have an easy commute); or be THE junior CA, on reserve Thursday through Monday, have a three leg commute, and take home about $10k more?

Plus at Colgan it is all about the luck of timing. I always was able to hold a line as an FO and I am able to hold a line as a junior CA.

As far as I know, which isn't much, they are doing one class for Saab and one class for Q per month for the forseeable future. I am pretty sure the Saab class for Sept is on the 7th and no clue when the Q class is. So the 21st class might be a Q class. Also, when they say Saab IAD, it isn't necessarily true they last couple classes have had a couple outstation bases up for bidding along with IAD and IAH. I also heard that IAD was getting full for now until more FO's from there upgrade so it really can be any base on the Saab and if not in training then within a couple months you can hold almost any base of your choosing....
