Colgan Lines

[flysafe]

Could anyone tell me a typical Saab line at Colgan?

Days off?
Line hours?
Time away?
Legs per day, etc....

Thanks for the help.

It's a mixed bag, IAH or the Eastside?

Put it this way, if you get a line that you bid for they will change it all when you get the award. Then throughout the ENTIRE month crew schedulers will "change your day" all the time as they don't believe in reserve crews. You will most likely never fly the entire month without atleast half your schedule being changed at the whim of some a-hole in manassas. Do yourself a favor go somewhere else this place is a joke, kinda like a retard telling a blind man how to fly.....

75-90 hours 14-17 days off a month. very little if not any reserve.

I know that sounds good but sometimes it is tough getting denied vacations, getting your schedules changed, ruining plans in your personal life, and losing significant portions (one time was 14 hours of pay) of your paycheck at the whim of the "company needs" with no recourse for you! All these things happen because of not having reserve and their business model of having lean lean lean staffing. the burden always lands on the line guys

Actually I think these things happen because of not having a contract that places significant financial penalty on irresponsible management.

Ok we will rephrase the retard portion of my previous to post to read:

"like a 'special assist' telling a blind man how to fly.....
