Colgan street Capt.

[Jetlag]

Would SYR or LGA be a better choice? If so why?

I think that if you really want to break into the airline world...Well, regional airline H*LL that is. Your best best would be to go to Compass or somewhere that is going to get you into the left-seat of something that pays better and doesn't have a glass ceiling. Being a street captain really is going to suck at CJC if the put you in the 1900. Great airplane, but it IS being retired slowly, but surely from Colgan Air.
I can't really speak to the situation on the SAAB, but I do know that CJC has reached critical mass on the number of upgrades that it can do in the next 9 months, which is the period of time that the Q-400 will be delivered.
Best of luck to you in your airline goals, but like I said unless geography is the only factor. Perhaps consider another company.

Sorry you guys didn't get your representation. ALPA would have absolutely worked (and succeeded) to protect the seniority and upgrade rights of your current FO's.

Is it true PCL is hiring street captains? I have heard a few rumors that we're losing FO's who are going to PCL to be a captain. PCL ALPA right?
So what happened to the protection there?

Is it true PCL is hiring street captains?

No, it is not true. Nice try.

No, it is not true. Nice try.

Not trying anything.
Just been hearing rumors we're losing FO's to PCL because they're hiring street captain.

Happy you got your flower now?

In case you missed it:

Sure, if an FO doesn't have ATP mins, there is no protection to give.

ALPA can protect FO's WHO MEET THE UPGRADE MINIMUMS from being wrongfully bypassed. If an FO does not have the required minimums, then they really aren't being bypassed. In the case of PCL, many FO's are not eligible for upgrade yet. Therefore, less senior pilots who do have the minimums are perfectly able to upgrade sooner. There is nothing wrong with that. I don't know if that's the case at Colgan, or not.

What are the chances of holding SAAB street captain in HOU or TYR?
