Sad to see these guys go but I can't see why when their CEO believes that "unfair" competition drove their 60 + of service out.
I think what he meant to say is that "our inability to forecast and plan appropriately has been the primary reason of our shutdown. This lack of business awareness...
Come on... You newbies had enough of the blue juice fed to you at indoc yet? Ask your mates about the real Colgan Air and your future lashes!
The vote needs a resolution. Someone get on it.
We are sick of being treated like Pinnacle pilots.
Hey 39N pilots !
Do you know why staff is so low? I do. The word is out about how ********************ty Naomi is and her unjust ways of dictating how to fly. Stay away from the place is right. Us instructors know better! It is for has beens !
New rumor is that Colgan is going to close all bases associated with PIT and move a CRW plane to Beckley WV. God, that means furloughs doesn't it?
What do you think. I'm not trying to start anything official here, just overheard some talks.
Where o where hath thy colgan threads gone? No quibble no squanders, no moaners and complainers, o what say yee bout tis coming days foresee?
No more rumors bout ALPA, nor big Chucky too, I wonder what Jebby is about to do?

What has the industry come to?
"At our current upgrade and attrition levels, we will exhaust our internal pool of upgrade/transition candidates who will meet the minimum requirements sometime this fall. At this point, our only alternative is to look at the possibility of hiring Captains...
Colgan Alpa has just announced that they believe there has been an error in the master count of the recent votes. CHECK out the Alpa site for more info. Looks like it might just pass after all!

Thank god!
Ok so Colgan has hired a lot of new very low time pilots. Good for the pilots! I must say though that a lot of you "new guys" act like you have flown the Sr-71. Here are some good points for yah.
1. IF YOUR DAD IS A SW PILOT --WHO CARES
2. KEEP YOUR EGO TO YOURSELF -- YOU WILL KILL PEOPLE...
Hey wanna see a joke!
June lines into and around PIT. 16 hour duty day for no joke 1.5 hours flight time. Not only that but also hot reserves for up to 4 hours! WHAT A JOKE
Colgan is also having a major problem finding pilots and to remedy this they are not offering 5000 dollars. In fact, they are not even going to do anything!
Welcome back to the Colgan Thread!!!!! Let It ROLL!!!
Ok, I know I am a goof in most of my posts but this time I am serious.
If an opportunity, outside of flying, presented itself to you and offered a 40 hour work week, retirement and great benefits would you consider leaving this 121 job.
The long-term pay would be around 100K in a few years...
Ok, at the current hiring rate at most regionals and the lower standards for times for new FOs, what will be the situation a year from now? Lets think about it. Hire a 250 hour guy/gal fly them as much as possible and a year from now you get a 1250 hour pilot with little experience and not...
...Unions and trying to justify their own greedy
bonus's and draconian wage and pension cuts.
~Cheap ass airline passengers just love this ******************** since they don't care if their airplane is flown by the lowest denominator, as long as they can fly for next to nothing. Of course...
