Colgan Question

[ccfly]

Does anybody know if they plan on adding more aircraft. I heard maybe a few more saabs but nothing for sure.

I heard they "want" 3 more Saabs. This came from the mouth of a Colgan. Not sure if they will be able to get them though..

Not sure if anymore 1900s are on the way to increase the fleet. At some point, 5 more Ds will have to show up to replace the Cs..

To use a little logic though.. Yesterday it was reported that we are at 4 1/2 crews per Beech and 5 crews per Saab. 5 crews per aircraft is the goal. We are interviewing and hiring for summer classes, so I would assume plans for a fleet increase are in place.

The Northeast is awash in Saabs. There's a bunch of BizEx (and maybe Chautauqua?) aircraft parked up at Telford in BGR. I want to say Eagle has some in the dessert, could be wrong. If ya can't afford a Saab now, well sheesh, ya can't afford it I wish you all the best, and if necessary I'll volunteer some manual labor to bring some of those A models out of retirement. They took my Beech away from me, goshdarnit.

I interviewed there on WED and got a call the next day to tell me I can expect a class towards the end of april but not sure what type and where. I hope they add some more AC I can't afford FO pay for too long.

ccfly, did they discuss/ask you to resign your seniority number?

 

[ccfly]

No it never came up, I guess they want some high timers in the mix even if it is for a few years

Does any one know how long it takes to upgrade

 

[BRA]

They just sent out a letter saying we are in a hiring freeze, and that pay rates are frozen at least till the end of the year. My guess is that is not good for time to upgrade. But, who knows, may be this will change any week now.
