    Day rate for contract work?

    I don't get out of bed for less than $800. Normally $800 (min) or 20% of the fuel bill. ( burn at average rates if they own their own farm seems to be close to $1/lb). First contract gig I picked up, was for $650, and I flew that thing all damn day. Wasn't worth it. After taxes I think I...

    The pusher is either manually over ridden, or disengaged via switch light on the glareshield. System is automatically disabled above 200kts, less than 250ft agl or anytime a partial or total failure of the stall protection or pitot anti ice has failed.

    Colgan 3047 NEW

    The autopilot only can trim the elevator. There is an audible warning for more than 2 seconds of movement. Any disagreement between the rudder and elevator trim results in a PFD message. the autopilot also disengages with a shaker/pusher acitvation. the only indication is the tab on the...

    Colgan gets fair with CAL fa jumpseat

    ? No.. just explaining why it ends up in the CA's lap no matter what. I'd rather not have to toss them off, but I would rather that my FA's get equal treatment. When our FA's say, no you have to list, the jump seating FA get's their panties all up in a hitch, saying only CA can say no... so...

    Colgan gets fair with CAL fa jumpseat

    Because the little jumpseat slip says subject to CA approval on it. If our FA says no, they make stink about talking to the CA. The memo came from vp of oops, so it is CAL that is presenting the hitch. Ball is in their court now. Hope they fix it

    Q-400 first class

    If they could get the noise down a bit, it would be better. If they run 74 seats or less, they are pretty decent in the back. I think most taller people would do 2.5 maybe 3 hours without too much complaint. I'd give it 1000 nm radius in which pax would be "ok" but thats it. A Q will take...

    Colgan gets fair with CAL fa jumpseat

    The crappy part is that Colgan Was pretty much open arms, if you got past the gate, you got a ride. It's not that hard for Cal to recip the open arms policy.

    FFDO HK offer

    Most tactical instructors will tell you to stay way away from bird. After going through 2 1/2in Sheetrock walls, and 20-30 feet, the bird shot will be non lethal, thicker clothing such as dickies jackets at that range can stop smaller gauge bird shot. FN makes an excellent tactical shotty, 8...

    Colgan gets fair with CAL fa jumpseat

    How about Colgan FA's can't jump seat on Colgan Q's.. they have to pay... CAL and Xjt FA's can list online and pay the fee just the same, until it gets changed. Nothing against them, not wanting to start a war, but seriously...

    Travis Barker Blames Pilots, Equipment for Plane Crash

    as our lawyer said.. this day and age, you cannot sign away liability. Suit will happen regardless of the contract. We were told that it pretty much wouldn't stand up, based on a claim of hardship/denial of services. If they were to show up to take, they would feel forced to sign for lack of...

    Travis Barker Blames Pilots, Equipment for Plane Crash

    Honestly, what appalls me the most, is that a standing contract in this day and age means nothing. When i was working charter, if you flew you Signed the LOL/LOD waivers. Even with signed consent, they would not hold up in court these days. Pretty much, as it SHOULD go, if you sign a piece of...

    Q400 question?

    As it was said before, our spoilers are also flight control surfaces, so yes we do want to check to make sure they all work. Below 185kts we use all four boards, above that the aircraft transitions to the inboards only. The flight/taxi switch is magnetically clutched, so it will move to the...

    Colgan DEN and or LAX

    I dropped the DEN rumor nearly 1.5 yrs ago. earlier this year added LAX. some people just went with it. In all fairness, the Director of training, and HR Did say that they wanted/were looking at DEN to compete with CHQ or RAH or something in the mountains. DEN was a goal, or in the initial...

    Colgan Air

    Why flame? Do you really care how it's going? the beech is still getting screwed. Nothing significant beyond a sick call policy. Q schedules arn't what people hoped, and it takes weeks to get on the line. doubt much will happen with the saab right now. I could see issues if UAL/USair...

    Calling times out while taxi @ CJC - IAH

    U can call times above 5000, but below 10,000 when cruise is above 10,000ft... and if cruise is below 10,000 you can call upon reaching cruise altitude. You are required to call when ground delays are expected to exceed 15 minutes, or gate delays in excess of 10 minutes. There is nothing in...
