Hard to find any fresh info on them anywhere, other than the generic "run away fast" comment. Starting there in a couple of weeks. Will report back.

The Columbia of today is far different than one of the past, handful of OCONUS contracts left but days of domestic ops are a vision of the past. Throw a rock and you'll find better pay and a more consistent schedule almost anywhere the rock lands in the heavy world.
