Colgan Instructor job

[airmasn]

Wonder if it's any better just being a ground instructor at Colgan until I get recalled from furlough?

Are you so completely lacking of any job skills besides aviation instruction that you'd need to?

Sounds like a ********************ty job...

About two years ago, I was doing some research on possibly becoming a professional pilot and getting my start with the regional airlines. I first called Air Wisconsin. During that call, I spoke to the woman at the front desk to the pilot recruiters. They all were friendly and professional. I also spoke to people at Republic Airways and was treated the same. THEN... I called Colgan Air. I first spoke to the receptionist who answered the phone in a polite and professional manner. She then connected me to someone named....Chuck. I don't know who CHUCK is or what part of Colgan Air he works for. But this much I will say. Chuck is one of the most rude, dismissive, and unprofessional individuals I have ever spoken to over the phone!! Working for the regional airlines isn't "workers heaven" but geez. I don't know what people's experience with Colgan air is, but mine wasn't that great.

hahaha... Chuck's last name is Coooooolgan. 2+2= Chuck Colgan. figure it out yet?

This post (flame) seems a bit transparent. You know more than you let on. I'm fairly certain you knew who you were speaking to.

Well, it sounds like it sucks over there.

FYI Check Airman are not "capped at 90 hours", IF they volunteer for the full time buy their guarantee is 90 hours for the month. Just as you can go over 75, they can go over 90.

Let's at least bash Colgan based on the facts

I agree... then why are so many Check Airman upset...? They used to be able to credit 120+ a month... I haven't heard anyone say they are able to make the same money.... Just an observation....

From a pilot's perspective, is Colgan Air that bad of a place to work? How many pilots work for this airline? Of that number of pilots, how many dislike working for the airline? If you go to willflyforfood.com, there's pilots applying there too. You many want to leave a message on that web site about your airline.

The Ground instruction job pays $58,000 / yr.

They made the guys take a pay cut from $69,000.

Nothing they could do.

And I would NEVER want that job... 30 days in STL or IAH in hotel, NO positive space, NO car, No per diem, NO senority number, NON union.

S.U.C.K.S!!!

Yeah I never went to the interview anyways. No thanks

What I find funny about this is that CAL's VP of Flight Ops told us last fall that CAL was actively participating in improving both safety and training at Colgan. What a shock Fred, you're a lying @sshole again...
