CJC Service Cut at LGA

[LowlyPropCapt]

Piedmont is ceasing all service to IPT.

Source?

It's still in the schedule, DH8 3X/day in Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec.

That does suck. Very good overnight. Don't worry though, they'll make it up with an extra ELM overnight in the Econolodge. Somebody ought to be tarred and feathered over that piece of dreck...

Free popcorn, cookies, videos (not the dirty kind), a strip mall nearby...

That's not that bad of an overnight. I preferred it to the ALB B/W (I hate that place).

IPT was an okay overnight. It's definitely no SCE!!!

Easy, killer. My wife's a PSU alumna, so... yeah. But the IPT is lethal for us Irish types, especially if you eschew the snooty Bullfrog for the more pithy Kelly's.

Ditch the slam-clickers and run to Kelly's (my favorite quote is "Walk in with 15 bucks, walk out with 5 and a buzz")... my ultimate favorite thing to do. Don't get me started about ABE, though. I bet that's next.

MDT is getting hit hard then. Eagle is closing it entirely.

Pinnacle hits it hard in MDT. Figuratively and literally speaking...

Or attempts to hit it, gets lost in the woods and loses everything except ginormous wrist watch and flip flops.

No, I was saying SCE was my favorite overnight by far. But I was one of those college aged know nothing FOs when I was there. Now I'm slightly-above-college-aged know nothing FO.

ABE was pretty boring, nowhere to eat. ITH was fun (sucked in the winter). I was SYR based so my southernmost overnight was the rare PHL.

Oh, but he DID hit it.

AND, that FA is still at Pinnacle. I saw her getting off a flight she just worked at DTW.

Always a good idea to keep talented employees around! It is good for morale!

This couldn't happen to a nicer group of people.

Not.

Good riddance. Hopefully this is only the beginning of the downfall.

And here comes someone chiming in on "well don't wish bad for the pilots"...

Well, Colgan has never been anything but a horrible place to work, so the pilots only have themselves to blame.

You must be one of the spikey-haired, 19-year-old windbags that continue to plague our industry. Go back to Facebook or MySpce and tell your little girlfriends war stories from Jet U and the ERJ. I hope you fly with as many weathered, old school Captains as you can who just might teach you something about always looking out for your own. You're a disgrace to the profession.

That being said I've met some nice Colgan people but they still work for the lowest common denominator.

ALL regional pilots work for the lowest common denominator, numbnuts....

true.

Colgan air is still the best turboprop regional in the northeast. period. I hope every 50 seat regional pilot loses there job and all their money. And I hope sleezmont goes outta biz. I hate you guys. I rule.

Allow me to wax philisophical for a moment...

(Jumps on soapbox)

The present environment presents a strange diachotomy for a lot of pilots. You are concerned (or at least should be) for pilots who's companies are losing flying in part or completely. Yet you are also relieved and maybe a little bit happy about additional flying at your own company that is gained at the expense of others. It creates a schizophrenic emotional state where you are relieved yet you shouldn't show it as it is totally insensitive to those pilots who are enjoying far less fortune.

The days when flying 'belonged' to anyone are gone forever. We are in an era that increasingly has airlines as nothing more than holding companies for various shady corporate entities that all perform flying under the same banner. We are competitors, yet when operating under the same banner we all directly effect the success of everyone who's airplanes wear that paint. It is a bi-polar existance to say the least.

My unsolicited advice? If you are enjoying good fortune at the present, be thankful for it. Remain forever magnanimous and empathetic to pilots of other companies. Never forget that the airline biz is fickle and every company seems to have a turn at the top of the pile... And then at the bottom. We are all in the same boat. Anyone who rejoices at the thought of someone losing a job needs thier head examined. That is not the kind of person I ever want to share a flight deck with.

You never know who you might need a ride or a job from next. It may be every man for himself, but a little compassion for the other guy would go a long way toward making our collective situation a bit more tolerable. Personally, I think not doing so shows an extreme lack of maturity... Something severely lacking among pilots at all levels of the industry.
