I'm still pulling for the summer assignment in Hyannis.

If you get it, be a pal and let a Beech dude or two bunk with you .... Make them pay for your beer or something in exchange for room and board .... ;o)

Does Colgan Pay during training? How likely to get into the saab right now?

Far as I know they're still running two classes a month, upgrade on the Beech should be bout a year, less if we keep getting more airplanes ... then right now it's a 1 yr seat lock on the left seat of the Beech b4 going to the left seat of the Saab ... again, all could change, especially if we get the rumored 50 seaters ...

Is HYA considered a junior base. If not, what are your chances of getting based there outside of summer if you are an FNG.
Thanks

Nice, that sounds like a plan. I didn't realize they had 1900 guys based there. I doubt I'll get it, since I'm one of the most junior guys. Wish me luck. chperplt, I'll definately give those places a visit. Did the ladies treat you well in HYA?

Right, how could I forget, it hasn't been that long ... We like to refer to you here as the Schedule W#ore, bit less obsene ..

HYA is a temporary Saab base, permanent Beech Mx base. Usually anyone smart enough to ask people about HYA puts it last on the list ... It's expensive and it's a Mx base so you bet you WILL get screwed, guaranteed ... Oh and the weather is lovely, if you come out of the fog in one piece ...
