[cubiclehater]

Cass

Regarding CASS...is the two letter code 9L? Trying to get info about CASS has been like pulling teeth. Thanks and do da Colgan.

Hey GEARUP5!

You are a FO on the Saab? What is with your avatar? MD-83 717? Yeah ok.

 

[cpierse]

I know Colgan can be painful ride sometimes, but hang in there; there's no reason that you can't go from Captain at Colgan directly to a major.

IMHO, the RJ bubble has burst... Loads are way up, the majors are dying for gate and ramp space, and contracts with RJ operators are being renegotiated by the majors.

If you leave Colgan before the contract is up, you'll owe them serious cash; if you leave after the contract, you're probably less than a year from upgrading.

I have no dog in this fight - I left CJC a little over a year ago for greener pastures. I just know that you'll open a lot more doors with 121 Captain time than without.

What's going on CP?

 

[cpierse]

Hey fellas,

Gotta love flying the Maddog with your favorite Captain every day! Wow - how times change... Hard to believe it was only three or four years ago that Bra and I were stuck flying with Pring Prang and Chper was doing the Colgan long-haul route up to PQI. Fun times...

 

[Prop2Jet]

good words of advice! Stick it out and make your mark for the long run. After all 5 years is not that long to play at CJC to get 20 years in the majors.

[GEORGE DUBYA]

I just got hired by jet blue soo long suckas!

 

[gearup5]

I was at Colgan as a Captain off the street. Shortly after arriving I realized my mistake and left as quickly as I could. Colgan Sucks!

As far as my avatar goes can't help you on that one.
MD-83/87? Those are planes I have operated.

 

[ATLplt]

Gearup, how's life on reserve? I bet Christmas is gonna be very lucrative for you this year. I think the whole company dropped the holidays.

 

[gearup5]

Working the holiday,but I will be over nighting at home on Christmas. Hell I dropped most of the month. I think they will have the loop hole that allowed that fixed shortly.

How is training going? I am sure you ended up on the 717.

Is that what started TC's "Book of Thing's the F/O Will Not Do" or was it something else?

 

[Hung Start]

LOL
I think it was one of Bah Harbah's finest. I'm sure I could call Leroy up there and find out.
He has his finger on the pulse.
Just fond memories of New England.

Happy Holidays to you all!!!!

Was that you in seat 1A? That was a helluva day, especially considering it was only my second trip off IOE.

That was me. I took a piture of the airplane with 9 inches of snow on the wing and ice hanging off the wing. The he announced that he wasn't going to de-ice.

 

[Prop2Jet]

O my god are you guys serious! No wonder the POI wants us to get out of the AC and check the wings prior to takeoff. Did hear about that one! They don't want us to do pre-takeoff contamination checks any longer--well at least that is what the POI has proposed!

Good FAA reading for all of us:

Is that you, W? You're surprised that I still check out the updates on the Colgan News Network? Where else can I go for this much entertainment? Actually, I think half the guys on this thread are Colgan grads... kind of like a reunion.

So much excitment out of Bar Harbor with the most senior guys in the company... Always found that interesting. If it wasn't killing both engines, it was hitting a runway light on the take off roll and continuing on.
