    Colgan...cut out of IAH???

    Colgan's maintenance issues are a direct result of their outstation basing. When you have no maintenance (or just contract maintanance that may or may not be available) where the aircraft overnights, night after night, nothing is done proactively and the MELs just build up. And even when the...

    Colgan...cut out of IAH???

    Oh for God's sake. That's like a Mesa pilot starting a rumor that Air Wisconsin really isn't going to be doing US Airways Express flying. Not that it couldn't be true.

    Getting a Colgan Interview

    Over 40 Saabs, 11-ish Beeches and over 400 pilots by end of 2005.

    "Go-Jets" the new Freedom!!!!

    I agree Rekks. Somebody smarter than I am should be running the country. Hopefully in '08.

    IT'S ALIVE! A380 flies

    Does anyone know of any published book / analysis of automation screwing or saving pilots? I know the data would be difficult or impossible to obtain, but it would be interesting. For example, stick pushers prevent pilots from having the final say about stalling swept-wing aircraft into an...

    IT'S ALIVE! A380 flies

    There is a good deal of government subsidy going on here too. A decent, albeit somewhat dry read is "Birds of Prey: Boeing vs. Airbus - A Battle for the Skies". It was written in 1995, so it's a bit dated, and doesn't talk about Airbus' surge in the late 90's and early 00's. But it does...

    Colgan Hiring

    Watch out for Theresa. Total Pit Bull. Just take her abuse with a smile.

    A380 first flight on Wednesday!

    Aren't we an enlightened positive individual this morning. I, for one, can't wait to see one of these pigs fly into JFK.

    Colgan Starts at $14,400?

    You know what you're going to make when you come to Colgan. Lot's of sites will tell you that. At my base, we see newbies with 1100 total / 100 ME, flight instructors, etc. and this is their first 121 job. If you end up in the right base, it's a great move. 800 hrs SIC / year. And then: 1)...

    It's Official - Shuttle America/Republic

    ...being hired by them. Seemed like the dream to me at the time. How things changed. A few years later they were the whipping-boy of the "who-the-f*ck owns who" brigade. That they finally became useful to elude scope speaks montains about our industry. GO! GO! GO! SHUTTLE AMERICA GO! This is a...

    Proud to be Comair

    The next time you want to have some fun on the way to/from work, hide the hat, put on the dark trenchcoat, hold a Jepp binder in your hand and ask random passerbys, "Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior?"

    Shuttle America

    You and KingAirer should get together. You could throw back some beers and talk about yourselves. Since it's all about you.

    Colgan pilot pool

    What remark? :)

    Colgan pilot pool

    Two weeks after I started at Colgan, I flew with him for three straight weeks. What an experience. I remember saying: "If you want permission to exceed 200 kts within 4 nm of this Class C airport, you ask. I'm not going to again." "We can't fly through that. It's magenta." "If I'm scared...

    Shuttle America

    It is so pathetic to hear any CHQ pilot b!tching about DOH integration with 86 pilots. You have been lucky enough to have experienced extreme growth in the last five years (some attribute it to bottom-feeding whorish behavior, but I do not subscribe to that line of thinking). Don't ruin your Karma.

    Anyone starting w/AirTran next week get a pkg yet?

    If he is on furlough, then he is not subject to random drug testing, correct? Snake: do it up brother - take the edge off.

    No word at all from Colgan after interviewing a month ago!

    For those of you without 4-year degrees, the comma signifies a pause in time, i.e. the second call came at 5 weeks. PM me if you want to know what "i.e." means in the previous sentence.

    No word at all from Colgan after interviewing a month ago!

    When I was hired almost three years ago, I sent Judy Brown an email every week after the interview saying thank you for the opportunity and I was looking forward to working for Colgan. I called back three weeks later, then two weeks later. I pounded them into submission, and they finally offered...

    ALPA Age 60 Survey

    Amen Captain Caveman. Six months ago in Boston, I listened to a US Air FO (x-captain) whine about his two x-wives and how much money they cost. He then went on to describe a cool trip he took in his Piper Cub. Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! Lifestyle changes happen. Adapt and get over it. My family health...
