Q400 at Colgan HQ today

[Snaab]

Anyone in Manassas today to see the new bird? If so, let's hear about it. (Ahead of time, if you want to bellyache about pay rates or otherwise, go to somewherez else, ya dig?)

 

[Fred Rogers]

Dig.

How you been Snaab?

 

[jtrain609]

It wasn't there as long as they wanted to show it off. They had to draft the Q pilots and the plane to ferry some saab parts to ALB.

 

[jtrain609]

...and the rates SUCK on it...

We should have asked the Q Demo pilots how much they get paid...

 

[Prop2Jet]

Who cares the plane is a POS....

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

I was there today. It was great. Until I got in the cockpit. 3 MELS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then when it left it came right back and made a precautionary landing something about engine vibration. I think it is still there. Oh and the rates are just fine and ALPA won't pass.

 

[YMICFI]

ALPA will pass...the Q is all the more reason to have it.

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

There is on way more than fidy percent of us are going to vote yes you will see

Bombardier has absolutely no quality assurance. Once you fly 'em around a bit reliability gets better, for the most part.

Looks like it will fit right in to the Colgan operation!...

VOTE ALPA

 

[~~~^~~~]

Can't say for sure obout Bombardier, but I just got invited to interview for one of these positions at another manufacturer and was at a delivery earlier this week to observe.

Factory demo pilot pay starts at $95,000, plus benefits. Typically $105,000 after one year. Also, generous 401K, stock, incentive pay, insurance and expense account for travel.

 

[Beech Balls]

So, once again, we can't get a straight answer out of anyone on this friggin' board? I guess nobody really saw it.

 

[Prop2Jet]

The Q is doomed. That POS will be MEL'ed all the time. They will not know what to do with it when it comes online. I bet yah the try to apply the Saab MELs to it.... Retards...

Straight from the factory, the birds are sweet. Everything is shiny. It has that new airplane smell. And you WILL be delayed! Just remember to CTRL-ALT-DEL and y'all will do fine!
