Mark is a great guy. He's got alot of intestinal fortitude. Something that should come in handy during this process.
 
Dr. King,

Those members from other airlines are Professional pilots serving on National Committees. They are experts in their area and volunteer their time to help protect you and do a darn good job of it. If anything was exposed, do you not think the FAA and the NTSB didn't know about it already? These Professionals represent a National Organization that has been promoting and pursuing safety in our industry since the 1930's. Their safety accomplishments are too numerous to list. Captain Sully was involved with this group when his airline was still in ALPA and he carries on the work today. Their goal will be to get to the root cause of the problem. It is always guaranteed that pilots are where blame is first laid. However, many times there are many other factors. Let the work be done.

If your company has something to hide, the party is over. It has nothing to do with the work of this group. Guaranteeing the safety of the traveling public to the highest degree is the highest priority. If any company is operating in a way that is deficient of that, then they either need to come into compliance or go away.
 
One of the most honorable acts of integrity is to properly and professionally defend the absent. Whether it is family, a colleague or friend who isn't around at the moment.... or the deceased.
 
Sorry you feel that way about Mark. I know him personally and he's a great guy. ALPA is still NEW at Colgan. However you had all the support of ALPA behind you and the absolute best we had to offer at those hearings. However a lot of positives have indeed come out of the hearings. Did you not listen to the ALPA rep I had the pleasures of listening to? Especially when it came to duty times? He gave an awesome 1-2 punch. Thus perhaps you need to look at yourself in the mirror and just be grateful ALPA was on your side. I cannot imagine going into these hearings without them.

Also how the hell are you going to lose your jobs? Bro you need to calm the heck down. Before you make some off the wall comment you cannot back up.


They all did such a great job. They really got a handle on the accident when they started asking questions about why we made a CFM that you need two hands to use and not one. Thats it---they solved the whole damn thing. Nobody has an interest in this except Colgan pilots. I welcomed and was greatful to have ALPA but it should have been run by Colgan ALPA. That is where it went wrong.

That is were you are wrong! We all have a interest in this, and Colgan pilots should have the biggest guns in the fight! Not to knock on Colgan Alpa, but these boys are new at this game. Let ALPA national take the front seat, this is our chance to ram it down their throat!
 
Hey jackass...Before you start throwing people's names around like you are in a public forum you might have the common courtesy to tell us your's. I have known Mark since his first day at CJC when he was a goofball BE-1900 F/O candidate that has matured into one heck of great pilot and a damned good friend! So go get stuffed...

Accident investigations usually result in rule changes that affect the entire industry, not just the airline involved. Accident investigations have resulted in sterile cockpit rules, requirements for GPWS, the new training curiculum for all 121 carriers, contaminated runway data, etc, etc.

If new rules come out of this accident my suspicon is they will affect every pilot in the industry that commutes and every pilot that has ever had an 'unsat' on a checking or training event. And you won't like them.

You make ab... AP... solutely no sense. First you indict Seggy for being inept, then claim National overstepped their bounds and boofed it.

There is absolutely no way on this earth that an F16 driver is as stupid as you are. There's no way an F16 wrench is as stupid as you are. There's no way someone who built a SnapTite F16 model is as stupid as you are.

You, Doc, are a gibbering imbecile. Wrangle your three mutant neurons into a thought, and make sure that thought is, "I should go piss on Chuck Norris' shoe."

I'd be "greatful" if you did, as well as the world at large. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your sole.

(the rest of us would type "soul," but you'd swear that is in S Korea where you flew F16s... and hilarity would ensue)

Are you sure about that?
:angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire

Do you think that :uzi:Colgan Management was better to represent Colgan Pilots???

HA!

They looked like deer in a car's headlights, only throwing the pilots under the bus in an effort to get out of the way.

:puke:

The Colgan folks are doing an excellent job, especially for a brand new MEC! Imagine where they would be today if TOOLS like you had voted the first time???

If you are so smart Dr. King, sitting there in your panties at 3am typing on your computer, why don't you address your concerns to Mark directly? You won't because you are a chickenhawk looser who deep down knows that they have NO IDEA what is going on in the real world.

If the MEC is doing so horribly, why don't you volunteer to make it better. You would rather sit there and whine like a spinless pansy.

Get a life Dr. King.
