Guys and Gals,
Sorry if this has already been answered - not trying to flame anyone in this post. First, sorry to hear about your continued f#$Ked up situation there. This industry really does blow - I should have taken Engineering in College... I am a fan of the Q400 - I have ridden on the Q400 a few times as a pax and it seems like a great bird.
So, what's the deal now that Republic has the Q400 contract? Any more details? I haven't seen much in terms of clarification of who will staff the Q400s as they are phased over.
Several questions come to mind. Will "former" Colgan pilots be interviewed and picked up by Republic as they are phased over? Will current Republic pilots get first dibs on the Q400 Captain slots? Will current senior Colgan pilots be able to stay at Pinnacle and bid the jet seats? Will the Q400s be flown out of other hubs like ORD and DEN or will they continue to focus primarily on EWR?
What's the latest information? I realize some of it could be pure speculation but there should be some new details...
Good luck to everyone involved!
