CJC: no new Q's till spring 2010

[vectorvictor]

My guess is, with a fleet mainly made up of weight limited saabs, that your group uses more jumpseats then they provide. Don't use the jumpseat as a weapon, it belittles your position. Oh, and your rates are a joke, but I have met a lot of good colgan people around the terminals in LGA, hopefully you guys are able to negociate a more appropriate rate in the future.

Lots of good people here, that's exactly the point. In this industry we all pretty much live in glass houses so starting the "my s$itty airline is better than your s^itty airline" isn't really productive.

And as to the JS comment: The point here is the same guy that logs on to flightinfo and throws rocks at us is the spineless dweeb that thanks me for the ride. This is EXACTLY the reason that this industy is the way it is. You can talk solidarity, brotherhood, ethics, pride, and professionalism but at the end of the day you have nothing if the same folks that log on here can't walk the talk. Think about it; I'm not wrong.

PS Mesa sucks.

they're not getting any more Q's because you make too much flying them around. maybe if you would help them out and take a paycut, they would be able to afford them. come on guys....... mgmt would do it for you!

Hey why don't you grow a set and next time you ask for a jumpseat, let me know what you really think of me. Until then, drink a nice big glass of STFU. We're all just happy to be hanging on in these tough times. Like we had a choice; and as if you would do differently if you woke up in our shoes.

You did have a choice, but I seem to recall you all voted no to it.

This is an old news release.

Those 10 SAABs have been placed with United.

Get on your **it bro.

 

[dcfu69]

if the 10 saabs went to united then where the hell are they flying to.....All I see is the same ol crap lines and backwoods airports that we have always had.

Like we had a choice;

So what you're are saying is the only people flying the Q are at the bottom of the seniority list at Colgan? I dought that. You only fuel the fire by bidding to fly it.

Being a publicly traded company any significant transaction such as this would have to be reported to the shareholders. No such report has been made.

Supposedly, 3 "new" city pairs are in the works for UEx operation out of IAD. This was from VP of FLOPS

Meanwhile Colgan dorks fly around 70-seaters for less than most guys make flying 50-seaters.

Please introduce yourself to me the next time you are in Newark. I want to buy you a coffee, then crush your skull you meat stick. Are you jealous that CJC is flying a bigger plane than you is that what this is all about? Sounds like you have this thing called napoleons syndrome. Don't worry our Q's are fast but YOU are still flying a JET so you are still better than anyone at CJC.

Don't get mad at him. There is nothing false about his statement. YOU are the one that bid to fly it. When will you guys learn?

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

we aren't loosing ten saabs.

Did you tighten them?

From a real Q400 pilot. . .

Aren't you toolbags required to fly the 400 at 10 knots below Vmo or something like that? Don't you guys cruise at like. . . . .10000 feet?

You guys really need to stop pretending your cute little airline is a dream job because you fly a Q400. You guys should have been pounding the pavement over those pay rates.

You need to open er up and get up to FL250 and do 280 in the descent!!

Not all of us.

You know what? I am hardly what anyone would call "spiritual", but think about this passage from Proverbs: (paraphrasing) "No man should take advantage of another man's calamity". Doesn't this sum up all the venom that some spew to one another here? It is rare that anyone makes anything close to an argument using logic versus an ad hominem attack because they fly for "XYZ Airlines".
There are helluva lot of great people here at CJC, and a few that fall into a less complimentary vein. This holds true for every other airline out there, no matter what their payscale looks like or how shiny their jet (or turboprop) is. What is equally ridiculous is that the same people that complain vociferously about another company are the same ones that are never satisfied with their own "sandbox"...Pretty ironic given the conversations I've heard in a few crewrooms over the years.

I will introduce myself to you in EWR and break your f'ing arm right before I choke you out hotdog!! I worked at Colgan. Its a bottom feeder of a job with terrible pay and zero work rules. I make more than most saab cpts on third yr FO pay. I'm sure that makes you feel good flying around those big props.


Its all about the paycheck don't ever forget that. I 'should' be less than a yr from upgrade and will be making more than just about all your senior heavy turbo prop drivers kingFART. Feels good doesnt it. It should.
