Colgan Q400 order

[GEORGE DUBYA]

Looks like we ordered 24 Q400's. 12 in EWR and 12 in IAH. Announcement shortly.

 

[dingo222]

do they come stocked with molsen or some other cheap canadian beer? hey dub, how long is the flight from pqi to bos? I heard some ppl debating whos has the longest flight in colgan. I think cho-lga is just a bit shorter.

 

[ERJFO]

Good for Colgan, here is the pay-scale you need to shoot for... http://airlinepilotcentral.com/airlines/regional/horizon_air.html

great news, why dont we have another celebration party for you in dtw.

MERGE THE LISTS

 

[dingo222]

we wish. THat's one of the best regionals out there. I know a lot of old salts at colgan don't want a cheap rate on the 400, but we aren't organized.... yet. I don't think they want a rate that would screw the pcl guys down the road either. I agree, horizon has set the bar for the 400 rate.

 

[suupah]

need a news release before i even get half a boner on this one.

 

[dingo222]

i hear ya, not even a chub

 

[Prop2Jet]

Trying to get solid info. No one will talk. Tried calling Bombardier to see what they have. Awaiting response. Who knows this could be another "solid" rumor!

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

Pqi-Bos? I have no idea I am based in BUF.

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

Lol just found out I was hired by Republic lol suckas! Emb 170 here I come.

 

[Prop2Jet]

Yeah those E-180s are great! Have fun with your gate returns!

 

[Prop2Jet]

You like my stoned monkey picture!

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

Is it true that Colgan Q400's will come with IPODS in the cockpit and factory installed porn? I heard they are going to come with FO'S too because all ours quit. 2 flight attendants! We will have to start combing the high schools. Overnights will be fantastic. Double teaming girl on girl action happy hour games. I am bringing my video camera. Watch out girls gone wild. Like some of those scenes from team america world police. Golden showers, bomb drops, hot carls, warm carls, cold carls (my favorite), Dirty sanchez, rabbit punching. Awwww yeah too bad I am leaving.

Bombardier in line for turboprop order



Continental Airlines of the U.S. is seeking to place 24 Bombardier 70-passenger Q400 turboprops on its domestic runs by early next year, replacing some small regional jets, says industry publication Aviation International News. Large turboprops, made by Bombardier in Toronto and by the Franco-Italian ATR in Europe, use less fuel than small regional jets on short-haul flights, resulting in a one-third advantage in operating costs. Bombardier booked net sales of 60 Q400s last year. It has confirmed the strength of the turboprop market worldwide and may build a larger Q400, but it does not comment on reports of orders.

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

See told you people. Next year that sucks.

 

[CA1900]

I see "Continental," not Colgan. Who's to say they won't go to CommutAir, which has a well-established codeshare with Continental, and will be bringing Q200s into passenger service next month?

 

[STREAKS]

...or that other new Q400 place...erm...heh...ummm...lets see...errrrrr... oh yeah Lynx!

That article was from July 2006. here is another version:

[suupah]

I hope floating this rumor isn't another pathetic attempt by management to stop the hemorrhaging of FO's. They routinely have used rj's, saab 2000's, new codeshare rumors in the past to keep people from leaving. what a joke

 

[Prop2Jet]

Monkey Sex Monkey Sex Monkey Sex........ Ooooo Oooo Aaaaa Aaaa Oooo..... Overnights With Hi Schools Yeahhhh!

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

Commutair lol

 

[ERJFO]

Commutair lol

Said by the guy that is jumping to another regional and making a lateral move himself.

Lol just found out I was hired by Republic lol suckas! Emb 170 here I come.

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

Lateral move? I worked for COlgan.

 

[BSkin]

Lateral move? I worked for COlgan.

yes, but still lateral move, if you had a pair you'd stick it out, get CA time quicker and move on. But, have fun in the right seat of the rj for 5 yrs.

 

[BSkin]

And.... trust me, I don't give a rat's a$$ what some say, CA time gets you where you need to go, not fo jet time!

 

[BSkin]

I hated CJC also, but was the best shi!!y time I ever had, and got me to move on!

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

Your right I will stay. Thanks.

Nice Retarded Cat ... Dee Dow!

 

[Prop2Jet]

How do you like my retarded cat? His name is waffle; he loves when I pour syrup on his head and he blows syrup bubbles!!!

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

My cats name is F stick. During the super bowl I will have a mock kick off in my living room and he is the ball. Wait until baseball season he hates spring training thats when the wiffle ball bat filled with concrete comes out. He is always vomiting on himself like in my picture. I don't give him anythng except stale dog food and capt morgans. I keep him on a dog leash in the basement where there is no heat. DId you know if you throw cats up in the air as high as you can they are supposed to land on all four legs. Mine doesn't probably because I blindfold him.
