Colgan street Capt.

[Prop2Jet]

What has the industry come to?

"At our current upgrade and attrition levels, we will exhaust our internal pool of upgrade/transition candidates who will meet the minimum requirements sometime this fall. At this point, our only alternative is to look at the possibility of hiring Captains externally in order to meet our growth plans and the commitments we have made to our code-share partners. "


hhahahha.... When you grow real fast, treat your people like a peg in the wheel this is what you get "abnormally high attrition in the pilot ranks."

You ( as in management) might not have these issues, and that goes for all regionals not just Colgan, if you pay more, treat people with respect, and act accordingly.

Nice bed that you all made, enjoy sleeping in it.

We need to "fix the glitch" and get you taken off the email list.

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

Oh and Prop we want our stapler back.

 

[Prop2Jet]

I am sorry I was out, I had a meeting with the Bobs, what were you saying Capt. Retardo?

 

[Flying Illini]

This doesn't sound like it hurts the company nearly as much as it hurts the current FO's who may be close to upgrade mins. All of a sudden their CA slot has disappeared and who knows when another one will open up.

........

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.

Just got an email looking for street captains.
Can anyone tell me about ALB? could I get it right out of training? how long on reserve? Is it mostly back at base at night?

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

Gimme a break ALPA would do what? When 2 years from now when we get the first contract? We don't have any FO's left who are even close to having ATP mins. We have to hire street captains.

 

[XJohXJ]

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

Don't rely on outstation basing for much longer the transition to hub basing has already started. Chances of getting ALb out of training depends on the need for Capt's/Fo's at the time and your seniority in your class. Good luck

ALB will stay a base only because of the MX. They are spending big money on the hangar. Other outstation bases will be going away...but you can't lose in the Capital City.

whats up brother?

I think the bottom line is COLGAN RULES and colgan pilots who supported ALPA should go away they suck as pilots. Go to express jet and republic we don't want you anymore. Oh and you got the Beech because you didn't do as well in the sim like us who got the SAAB. LOSERS!

Put the pill bottle down!!!!!!

Factoring in attrition, transitions to the Q, etc, no F/O's will lose upgrade slots once they have the mins, even with street captains.

you should be able to get ALB with no problem. Is a Mx base and noone wants it!!! I honestly think with my exp flying into LGA every day and swapping A/C almost every night and giving it to the ALB guys, it sucks. You will be flying broken airplanes all the time and your schedule will probably change 9 out of 10 times every week.

This is the best and shortest way to lear how to be a test pilot.......... good luck
