Colgan Bringing the Q to ATL

[Smacktard]

An MD-88 trying to takeoff out of HHH. That would be a sight.

That's one way to extend the runway down there...

"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul!"

HAHAHAHAAAAA ADAM SANDLER GETTIN DISSED BY THAT JUDGE. I love that movie!

That is not the announcment. The announcement is a positive one. Nobody is going anywhere after you hear this.

 

[Caspian27]

If so many of you know what this "announcement" rumor is, just post it and get it over with.

 

[suupah]

"Hawaiian shirt Friday's" is the big announcement.

 

[suupah]

Sweet! Speaking of huge one, Dot's being shown the door. That's the announcement. I knew this day would come.

I came across a draft of the upcoming memo in the IAD crewroom today:

"After umpteen years of playing favorites and treating the most enthusiastic employees like complete crap, she's joining the rest of the family at Colgan Lake. Thanks for your service, Dot, here's a lifetime pass to the Old Country Buffet. Thanks for never doing s*** for 97% of the Colgan Air Family. We will all certainly miss the way you so happily answer the phone and grant the smallest of requests from crewmembers with that charisma and charm you're so well-known for."

See ya!

So you really stuck it to them did ya?

 

[dcfu69]

oh yeah and Dubya.... you frickin crack my ass up man!

Get Some

um...it was in quotes. she wasn't trying to be original.

Suupah is a "known homosexual" here at colgan.....loves to do team take-offs(holding the power lever together, hand over hand). Im tired of poor FO's asking me if they should say something. Dont they have enough to worry about?And stop asking people to fly down to Key West for the weekend......NOT COOL MAN! :nuts:

Two hands are better than one. And there is nothing better than running down to key west where it is socially acceptable to hang out in my tight speedos that always seem to slip off when i dive into the water. Don't hate congratulate.

Delta had to chunk the ATR as a result of rising maintenance cost- had nothing to do with their fuel savings initiative. The MX is negating any true asset value.

I really don't know, but I wonder who pays for the maintenance on the ATR. I see guys with ASA logos on their shirts working on the plane. I see the work on the plane being performed at a building that is full of ASA employees. The parts for the ATR come from the ASA parts warehouse. Does Delta pay for the mx on the ATR?

Pass through cost.

The dispatch reliability is pretty bad on the ATR. Bad to the point it negates the fuel cost advantage.

Yes, that is the story that we are being told.

Awful easy for an airline that doesn't want a certain type of airplane to 'find' a reason for said airplane to not have the necessary reliability.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

On any given moment you can find a full ATR crew in the bada-bing waiting for MX to repair their A/C.

I flew the thing for a few years, and it was fun...but it does seem to be breaking down an awful lot. Especially when completion factor is of importance these days.
