Jason....That was great always nice to get laugh in the hotel room. I gotta get down to Big D sometime and see ya man.
Climbhappy...My guess is if US Air tanks Colgan will go back to just doing the EAS stuff again like they did a few years ago. Maybe a BKW or BLF hub? Introducing many new nonstop flights from BKW to other cities that no one ever wants to go to.
My turn........I too am leaving Colgan for Trans States.
I was told that all the C models are going to Florida for the "airline" tha TAB is starting. Colgan apparently owns a portion of this venture. If all the Beeches leave, where do all the Beech pilots go. In my last recurrent, the Colgans made it clear that it would cost them too mich money to train a Beech FO for the SAAB FO position. The only way from the Beech to the SAAB is upgrade on the Beech. Then write a letter every week,call chief pilot every week, go to church alot, jump through hoops (forwards and backwards) to get on the SAAB upgrade list. I am sure there are plenty of eager beavers at TAB that will pay all sorts of money to fly the SAAB as an FO. Maybe current Beech pilots can resign, go to TAB and pay for the upgrade! I wish everyone luck with this restructuring of sorts, if it does indeed happen( If I remember correctly, all the Cs will be gone by Jan03)
Speaking about that TAB "airline" didn't they just get in alot of trouble with the feds for all that advertising they have been doing down there in FL? I was down there a few weeks ago and saw bilboards and even adds on the side of Votran busses.
