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
