Colgan Schedule

[bender]

The FOs that just went through recurrent last week said Chuck told them a min of 10 Saab 2000s are coming to the company in '07 to be flown for either CAL or Delta.

question is....do you believe it?

 

[Nolife]

From FSDO on a recent checkride- company can call you once during rest... anymore calls after that and rest starts over.

Best bet is like the man says... duty off and don't answer the phone. Have the same problem here.

 

[Prop2Jet]

you're being an enabler. I LOVE IT! It is like AA gone wrong!
Another note, DONT CHECK CREW TRAC WHEN U GET HOME!!! They will automatically see you as notified even though you never accepted your new change, I did this once and got ropped into a BS broke azz day.
Phone off-when not working. When working-phone on. When working and not doing so well with the wife, phone off. Did not pay a bill, always phone off! I bought another phone and lowered my overall minutes on the cell so it is cheaper for me and safer. I should just spraypaint the cell phone red like the emergency phones you see in those whitehouse moives!

Formally, the term is a Colganoscopy, and everbody there has had one. It's SOP.

A rite of passage...You are not colgan until then!!!

I don't really see what the problem is. I am blocked again over 95 hours for the month with no reserve days. I have never ever been called for Tdy or on a reserve day (only have had 4 of them). Nobody knows who the hell I am in the company. I haven't talked to crew scheduling (really nice people) in months. I never have a schedule change and have spent one day away from my base due to maintenance. Prop 2 Jet why are you starting complaint threads? I am sorry but this kind of negative company bashing is not going to go unoticed. I am sorry but your upgrade is now in question. I am calling the chief pilot to let him know of your negative thinking so he can have a talk with you. We are team there is no I in team. We are not getting any Saab 2000's they arent even certified in the US. I just got off the phone with the Chief he said nothing of the sort. I can confirm this however. 2 base closures to come in December CRW and I am not kidding MHT.

 

[Prop2Jet]

hahahah George you are too funny. Say you wanna start a company? I hear they are also closing PQI because the Canadians feel that they should have war reparations from back in the day! Also closing it because they have trouble running phone lines and power up there.....

Colgan put in a bid for Q400 flying for CAL. They will not have Saab 2000's, period. The US certification has been estimated at $10 mil and neither CAL nor Colgan nor Saab will foot that bill. The big stumbling block in regards to the Q400s is the $4 mil down that bombardier wants per aircraft (24 a/c total). No regional can afford that... CAL maybe.

I wouldn't say every regional.... we at AWAC have a cool 500+ million in US Air stock sitting around in addition to the usual coffers. That said, I have no idea if we bid on Continental flying.

 

[Prop2Jet]

Colgan and CAL--no way, just hopeful thinking. I will not believe it until I see it or read it in a company memo.

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

This just in...........
Prop 2 Jet was next to my urinal in an Fridays in VA and I caught him Meat Gazing. Shortly after while urinating with one hand he proceeded to apply chapstick lipgloss. I for one have never seen this done by a man standing at a urinal.

 

[Prop2Jet]

hahahha. excuse me did you bring those green light things? Are we going to the party? ahahahah DEE DOW!

you'll see it on the news before you hear it in a company memo!

Source on colgan bidding for it?

It would probably be smart for Colgan to get some new flying with newer equipment looking to the future.

As for the 2000, why would chuck tell people this to their faces if it was a lie?

 

[Prop2Jet]

Companies never lie... they just bend the truth, its a corporate thing!

Officially a bunch of pooh.

Officially a bunch of pooh.

They letting flight attendants in the cockpit now:laugh:

 

[Fred Rogers]

maybe we should start a thread which asks people what cell phone ringtone is assigned to Colgan's Corporate Line. I'm pretty sure I've heard the Mission Impossible theme several times. I think I have even heard Halloween, the Exorcist theme, and a custom computer generated voice which said "Warning. Brain Factory Calling"

 

[It will roll]

Colgan is GAY.

 

[DX Rick]

So what makes this any different from the other Regionals? Because it's not unoinized, try again. Mesa is ALPA and they just keep putting those grievances in the janitors closet.

 

[suupah]

Colgan is GAY.

this is impossible considering the number of kids in the family.

 

[greedypilot]

... those are some big kids lol

 

[Prop2Jet]

My corportate ring tone is called SILENT. Never once got a call!!!!
