Colgan Dash 8 Q400s at EWR

Go F' yourself and get a clue, half of us voted for Alpa. Just because it was voted down this time and I do mean this time dose not make all the pilots scabs at Colgan. Look up the word and shutup.

Agreed. Don't worry I'm not looking to deny jumpseats or anything. I just can't understand for the life of me why they wouldn't unionize.

Two reasons.

1. Senior dudes who think nothing is going to change and want to keep their "home every night" lifestyle. (It is kinda hard to give up.)

2. Junior FO's who are apathetic to the issue because they haven't been here long enough to know any better.


Only time will tell if these folks were right. I'm not a Colgan basher (they are good people trying to run a business) but I have my concerns about the looming changes from the forthcoming expansions and the management change.

IMHO ALPA would have made life easier on both sides of the table and would have made the airline more attractive to potential new hires.

I would take the job foR a while if they would pay me the 15 year rate for captain on the Q-400. It would still be a paycut plus an EWR base, PLEEEEZE.
