    What payrate will you fly the Q400 for? (colganites)

    Bigger airplane than we fly at XJT. Definitely be on routes we currently operate in EWR. Anything less than our pay rate is just playing in to management's hands and undercutting us on the current job we do for CAL. I'm not optomistic. Kellner 2, XJT 0. Now it is clear why Pinnacle wanted to get...

    Pinnacle Buying Colgan

    The belief that we can never acheive this "one voice" concept is exactly the reason that it is not happening. American's are greedy me, me, me types. We need to step back and consider what we do at one airline has a huge impact on what happens at others. Believe it or not, every action has a...

    Pinnacle Buying Colgan

    C'mon, be real. Infiltrating your posts. This is a public forum; an often full of chit public forum. These guys are damn worried, and with good reason. If management were to impose some new scope / work rules / whatever on your groups, Pinnacle pilots stand to be negatively impacted. I won't get...

    Pinnacle Buying Colgan

    Let me take these one by one. I left b/c Colgan was hosing me, in addition to other personal issues. Colgan chose to continue to change the requirements for upgrade on a monthly basis. Upgrade became a moving target at the will of management. Eventually they skipped my # and went to a less...

    Pinnacle Buying Colgan

    I know who you speak of, but I never went to AWAC. I never interviewed at AWAC. It was never in my plans. You obviously have the wrong person in mind. The fact that you can respond to well intentioned post with this kind of garbage show just how concerned we should all be about our futures. I...

    Pinnacle Buying Colgan

    I hate this stupid site, but with this announcement, curiosity got the best of me. I was curious to see how emotional this thread could get. Alot of you have voiced your opinion that Colgan needs to unionize. It is no secret that they have avoided this at all costs. The Colgan's did not want the...

    Rev Bedford's Sunday School Lesson To RAH

    This is not surprising, seeing as how it comes from a man who sent a letter to his employees, ridiculing Express Jet's decision to retain the 69 a/c being released from the CAL CPA. A few months later RAH is announcing their plans to bring in the CRJ 200 to supplement the 44 a/c they will fly...

    ExpressJet and the mystery 69 airplanes!

    Bottom line, old game, just a new story line. The only thing that kept us, at XJT, immune to all these problems in our industry was the fact that we have a CPA agreement with CAL that guaranteed us a certain amount of capacity through 2007. Story over! CAn we end this thread.

    CAL RFP's 70 Seaters (turboprops)

    I know 2 pilots who have an axe to grind with Colgan; unfortunately they are not with us any longer. Here's to you Colgan mx, with your outdated, unrevised mx manuals and your malfunctioning elevator trim! Drink one for our departed friends who paid the price for your mistakes. Colgan with 70...

    CAL RFP's 70 Seaters (turboprops)

    Colgan needs to worry about more than bidding on new flying. They can hardly keep their a/c properly maintained as it is. The chickens will come home to roost for this organization b/c they simply are average in all areas. Rumors of Colgan going larger have been around since I came and went...

    ExpressJet to fly for....American

    Oh yeah, and guys, I think we should stop bragging about having an industry leading contract... that could all crumble at any given moment. Just be happy that we have what we have, and be humble. In other words, take the high road.

    ExpressJet to fly for....American

    This whole thread is gay. As long as we, as pilots, don't accept less to gain more, then we have done our civic duty as far as I am concerned. Bottom line, its a dirty azz business, and nobody wins. If we go in and say we will work for less to do Eagle's current routes, then that would be a bit...

    Chitako/Continental Deal Not Done?

    I heard the same rumor for the 1st time today, but since it is just a rumor, who gives a crap. OR, we could write up 50 threads about something we know nothing about... yeah, that would be greeaaaaat! People need to grow up a little. I have never seen to airlines so PO'd at one another as this...

    Intelligent comments from Chautauqua CEO

    You guys are insane. I keep forgetting that all us pilots also have PhD's and Master's in big business. What gives the average pilot the feeling that they know everything about the industry? I'll tell you... one pilot hears another say 50 seats are too expensive, the next pilot passes that one...

    XJT to continue hiring

    Guys, we might as well let the cat out of the bag. Chautauqua has contracted Express Jet to provide 50 seat regional jet feed for their operation. Or was it that we are providing feed for Airforce One? Whatever the case, looks like our company has been successful in obtaining numerous options...

    CoEx to keep the 69 erj's

    I believe the reason for the early announcement was two fold... #1 CAL is still our partner, and a business run with spite and vengeance, will not be a successful business. I think it was intelligent on the part of XJT to give adequate notice to CAL, reinforcing the fact that we seek a positive...
