Colgan parking airplanes and voluntary furloughs

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Hi Zasca,
I left 01 Feb 08, and took a job with a real estate/auctioneering firm flying an F-90 for them. My wife had been ill, and passed away in January, so I had to leave in order to better care for my daughter, who is only 5. It's been a tough past year or so, and even more the past 6 months. We are doing alright, but I really miss all the people at CJC. Sure, we did ourself a lot of B****ing amongst ourselves, but I made alot of great freinds at the airline. I don't miss LGA so much though!

Best wishes,

ex-Navy Rotorhead

The colgan pilot culture is "leave us the f alone in our lil corner doing our thing."

Oh wait - too bad about that arbitration thing. Enjoy it before it's implimented

Okay, so what's the latest? This tread of furloughs and whatnot died in July and now here in September they are hiring. What happened in the past two months? I'm thinking about applying. I just want to make sure I'm not going to be back on the market again in two months.
