Oh for God's sake. That's like a Mesa pilot starting a rumor that Air Wisconsin really isn't going to be doing US Airways Express flying. Not that it couldn't be true.

I know, just curious if there was anything to it.

It would not surprise me....although I have not heard this. What I have heard is that maintenance delays and cancellations have been very frequent since Colgan started at IAH.

why not let XJT fly the props again and solve all the problems?

bring em back from the desert, I say!!! I think XJET would do a great job for CAL with the props just like we do with the jet.

 

[SkyBoy1981]

Supposedly XJT management has no intentions of bringing back props. I've heard this from numerous people.

The XJT business plan calls for an all-jet operation. The management here at XJT has indicated that it has no intentions of flying turboprops again. CAL approached XJT first about flying turboprops before they went to other companies. At that time, XJT declined to do this flying.

Very interesting. The weekly conference calls always say things are going very well down in IAH for the Colgan operation.

Well XJT employees just got "REAMED".....
the operation can handle it and now we have outstations closing and going to first Skywest and now colgan....
I have even heard managment is now worried Colgan will be taking more flying from XJT in the future....lovely!!!!

Colgan is having trouble with half of the skywest routes, it wouldnt be better for them with more routes. lets see them right now if skywest pulled out. Hopefully, this will be a good lesson for CAL. Just to be clear i am not dogging the pilot group at colgan.

Yeah, right!

What problems are we talking about? Are the Saabs having problems flying in the heat and humidity? Wouldn't think so given the East Coast flying during the summer - pretty hot and humid there...
