Colgan Pay?

chperplt -



Only idiots wonder if they are idiots.



"We" obviously does not include you. Talk to your boss. He is the one offering the interviews. Colgan Air MAY HAVE hired lower time pilots in the past but that does not set a precedent for the future. Things change. Times change. The only thing that hasn't changed is your underwear.

Why do you want to pump these readers up with false expectations? The industry sucks and so do you. Only the lucky few will get hired in this market - and not the ones with low times.

The only reason I can figure that you spend all your time on this message board is because your're making poverty wages at Colgan and can't wait to leave. Guess what? You will be there for a long time to come. Probably living at home with Mommy if not in a homeless shelter. Wake up and smell reality.

Oh cry me a freakin' river. You just finished b!tching about the fact that you wanted a Colgan interview and didn't get it. Now you are attacking the company and it's wages. What a hypocrite you are. I had a friend hired there within the past 6 mos. with 800 hrs. So Chperplt is not lying. If you don't want a job at Colgan, fine, don't send your resume. With an attitude like yours you'll make it real far in this industry. You are proably one of those CFI's that students hate. You take off and b!tch about why you don't have a 121 job and then you b!tch at other's who do.

Let's see now... In the last month, my seniority has gone down 6 numbers. That tells me 6 people BELOW me have left the company.

Why would your seniority go down if pilots below you leave? Shouldn't your number be unaffected since they were BELOW you.

I don't follow...

Oh well, if I am the only one wondering this I guess you will have to excuse me. 21 legs in 3 days kinda tires out my brain.

Fly Safe!!

That statement confused me too. How about 6 pilots below quit and 6 junior captains moved down to the FO list above this individual?

I guess it all depends on how you do your math. If you start at 100 and go down to 94... 6 people below you left.. as numbers get lower that is BELOW.. In proper aviation terminology 6 people with BETTER seniority left.

Another post about a Colgan interview made yesterday in another thread mentioned someone with 700 hours at the interview. I'm not giving false expectations to anyone. I fly with these low times pilots. I know from information given out by the CPs office what they are looking for.

the flt times of people there ranged from 700 hr -7000+ hrs..

Look here

You can bitch all you want about not having a job and how fu@ked up the industry is.. Fact is, there are jobs out there.

The only reason I can figure that you spend all your time on this message board is because your're making poverty wages at Colgan and can't wait to leave. Guess what? You will be there for a long time to come. Probably living at home with Mommy if not in a homeless shelter. Wake up and smell reality.

You have me figured out kid.. Fact is, I make just under $38 bucks an hour flying a 19 seat airplane around. I get 16 days off each month and I fly close to 85 hours every month. Not going to get me rich, but not poverty either. Oh.. as for living with mommy.. My wife and I just bought a brand new $250,000 house to live in so I won't have to spend my nights in the homeless shelter anymore.

It's time you wake up and smell reality. If you spent as much time trying to get a job as you do yanking your chain, you might actually find something.

Don't mean to be critical but you are probably the only one that interprets seniority they way you do.

I believe that most pilots interpret seniority this way. That is why I was confused.

1 is highest number and for the sake of arguement 120 is the lowest. If you are 100 and 6 pilots ABOVE YOU quit, that makes you 94. That means you have RISEN in senirority by 6 numbers.

My Brain feels better now.

My wife and I just bought a brand new $250,000 house to live in so I won't have to spend my nights in the homeless shelter anymore.

Either you had BIG money down or your wife makes more money than you do to get a loan like that. I could see it as well if you had no DEBT and DIAMOND credit to get that kind of loan. Can you pm me with whom you got this loan?

Oh well, congrats on your new home.

Fly Safe!

IM glad Hire me isnt applying, thats one less i have to worry about.

As for Chperplt seniority, i see what he is saying. Lets say he is one up from the bottom. The bottom guy leaves, that makes chperplt the least senior person.

Put down 15%, used my VA benefits and got the loan through Wells Fargo.

I had a friend that tried to do the Colgan online application. At one point it asks what your flight hours are exactly and they did not meet the multi requirements. The application process ended right there. Do they still get charged the 38 bucks for getting that far in the process? Anybody know? Thanks in advance.

Probably so. Did it say anything about that your account will not be charged? If it did not, they probably took your 38 bucks!

Tell him to check his cc or checking or whatever account to see if it was charged.

 

[B190Captain]

Chperplt,

How long have you been with Colgan? That's not bad pay for a 1900.

Yeah how long you been there?

 

[metrodriver]

I believe in 2000 it was something like $14/hr for fo's on the 1900. Sounds like they had some problems keeping people.....

In 2000 it was 17 an hour to start, now it's 20.
