    Looking for basic Colgan Air information

    Do understand that this avatar is posted in mere fun, and besides, when I saw it posted on the net, I could hardly resist. I have never had a problem with JB, all my interactions have been cordial, although I have heard some stories; but I try to judge only on what I have witnessed first hand...

    Another PFT.....WTF!!!

    This sounds dangerously like Colgan. Hold me, I'm scared. That's all I need, my 700 hr FO stumbling over LaGuardia taxi instructions. This industry is going downhill quick. Pretty soon we will be paying the carrier for the privelege of flying their planes.

    Crew Scheduling

    Crew Scheduling

    Sore subject at Colgan. See Flight Operations Procedures Manual Chapter 3. We can screw you, we will screw you, you will like it, and we will love it. If you don't like it, some other low time pilot will, and we will hire him so that we might continue our hosing of those who enjoy the miracle...

    Oh hell no. Don't get me started on those freaks. I caught them switching up scheduled block times a few weeks ago to keep us within 8 hours scheduled. Funny, when I queried scheduling about how the block times from A to B on one round trip were 20 minutes shorter on the next round trip to the...

    ugrade times piedmont and colgan

    Colgan Beech = dependent on total time when hired. Expect upgrade call at 1900 - 2000 total time and 500 in type. Approximately 9 - 12 months after hire. Colgan Saab = not sure of exact #'s, but figure about 1.5 years, maybe 2. If you're at Colgan, the Saab is where its at. In a recent...

    Anyone in the Colgan March 17 Class?

    You forgot the part where we have to gather round in a circle and pay homage to the crew schedulers who will rule are very existence, and yet know nothing about crew scheduling... FAR what, oh just keep flying, the computer says it'll be alright. Oh yeah, and you are welcome that we gave you a...

    Who gets deadhead pay?

    Colgan pays 50% of the scheduled deadhead block, which, in my experience amounts to 1 hours pay for about 5 hours of duty.
