Okay here is a good rumor I heard we are getting our first saab 2000 in spring 2007 from a saab rep. Next time you are in Albany ask them why they have some prop blades from a saab 2000 as well against the hangar wall.

I asked, they said they were C130 blades. Although how that would be more believable, I don't know.

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

yeah what would c130 blades be doing in the colgan hangar? Do we have a government contract to repair c130's? The military ran out of room in their hangar? They are saab 2000 blades I saw them. I saw a crj owner's manual also and a emb 145 flight simulator in a secret hidden room opposite the crew room in the Albany hangar. I also have inside information that we will start serving hot towels on our flights. Stay tuned life is going to get realllllllll interesting here at Colgan.

Colgan is getting C130's?

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

yeah cargo versions. We are going to fly the us airways peanuts around .

I can see where Big H is complaining about how someone junior to you can get paid more just because they got the SAAB. Back when I was there they didnt do that whole transition from the 1900 to the SAAB thing. So with the diff in capt pay there would be SAAB capts 2 or more years junior to some Beech capts making more money because back in the day it was you get hired in the Beech you staid there until you quit, no transition to SAAB. Enough people got screwed by that, that right before I left they started to transition a very few senior Beech guys.

Man some of these birds need to be retired. LVS (aka Elvis), LVJ and most of the A models are horrible. I don't mind flying them, its time of course, but I think my old cargo bird looked better on some days! O well, livin da dream!

I think they are C-130 blades too because I talked to the Dowty Rotol rep who was there instructing mechanics on how to repair them. He said C-130 blades are easier to learn repair on because they are so much bigger than the saab ones. If there is some other conspiracy that I don't know about.. I'd love to hear it ;-)

Yeah that's the sexual harrassment room. I think they use it mostly for porn storage for hiding on airplanes.

Whats really funny is that you are only half "jk" ing you really have been touched before by big hairy men. Didn't you tell me in training that your grandfather used to use your junk to dab suntan lotion on his back and neck? and that you were an altar boy and the priest told you that God told him to bless altar boys my shaking their 11th finger? You know its true. How's your wife and my kid?

c130 blades look much diff than the saab blades. what did they look like?

maybe we will pikc up some 130's with jato

 

[TNHillbilly]

The props looked really different, i heard as well that they are just instructional blades for the mechanics.
"see guys you spin the prop like this then you ops check it good. simple."

I like fiesta mix.

Good thing they didn't send them to Hyannus, there'd be a Beech flying around with one really big prop ... and 15 MEL's
