Do The Colgan!

[suupah]

Show up for the overnight and there is no hotel van and no reservation. unfortunately for you the van driver is gone for the night and you gotta get up in six hours.

ahhh do the colgan

 

[suupah]

Get booked on a alliance airline for crew travel. you get to the hub and the gate agent tells you you can not be booked that way cuz you don't work for them. now you stuck in a hub city and have to find your own way home.


ahh do the colgan

Here is my own take:

TDY to SCE maybe gonna get me some MTV. When I show to the Ho no rooms are open maybe I will call Irene and start to scream. No bookings for me no bed to see and most certainly no MTV; for its grad weekend up in SCE. 6 hours befo show I still have no cribe, no eat no sleep, for "what now" again I scream! No fingures were lifted nor mouths were moved for when your TDY at Colgan you're always gonna get screwed! And for the song as here mentioned do the Colgan and forget your pension!

MEL... MEL... Jingle all the Way, DING DING DING high oil temp send out resumes. hey!... MEL... MEL... MEL it all, did not see it did not hear it da kremlin is on its way hey! DMI it, CDL it who give a shhit about it, fly part 91 da kremlin is on it way hey! Ferry Permit, TDY it, you will not get paid fly this piece of swedish trash and please make sure you don't crasssssshhhhhh! Hey!

seat broken....wire it up with a coat hanger then hand write on a blank white piece of paper: "Do not occupy". as the passengers board with the look of terror on their face at how we do maintenance the FA just smiles and says welcome aboard!


ahhh you are starting to do the colgan very well!

 

[flyupder]

hahaha... this is a funny thread. I remember the days working there.

 

[bender]

start an engine, avionics come back on, no overhead lights. scratch head, think WTF, do a lamps test. overhead lights back on.

ahh do the colgan

 

[bender]

pick up open time, told I will be called with travel plans, wait until day before. Call up manassas and scheduling responds with "what? you picked up open time? who authorized this?"

ahh do the colgan

 

[Gfunk27]

calling for a clearance and hearing "on request " because genius didn't file the flightplan yet...while working a standup in which the last leg back to base has you working on a scheduled off-day...gotta luv it

 

[great cornholio]

Close my base and give me a NEGATIVE 3 days notice....have my buddies find out thier base is closing on the 6 o clock news....do the colgan

 

[great cornholio]

Show at HEF get driven to DCA to catch the LGA shuttle...have scheduling call you and ask where your at and when you say LGA they ask what youre doing there cause they thought they sent you to PIT. Wait around some and catch the BOS shuttle and end up in PQI somehow...do the colgan.

 

[great cornholio]

Show up in HEF for hot reserve at 0 dark thrity and find your plane is in 20 different boxes in the MX hangar. Ask to go home but get told no cause the "plane will be ready any minute"..fall asleep on the couch and wake up to tell the senator good morning...then fall back asleep...do the colgan...

Ahhh the memories...in a weird way this is kinda making me miss that place.

 

[Prop2Jet]

hahahah I love this thread over my nice cold Heffevitsien beer! Ummm DOOO DA COLGAN

 

[RockBass14]

Having been on HOT RESERVE always the last 3 months in HEF there are so many stories to tell. Go to HYA for a week in hopes of doing some good solid flying with a consistant schedule, but end up in ALB every night babysitting the third plane you've flown over the last two days with inop nosewheel steering, inop TCAS and a GPWS that tells you youre going to fly into a mountain at random times of the flight, and sets off the config warning because youre apparently going to land gear up at 16,000 feet. Do a 9 leg day with a total of 9 hours of flying and a 15 hour duty day to be told youre ferrying to ALB that night, for the third day in a row and you had two 14 hour duty days in a row previous to this. Deny the flight and do the carpet dance with the crew scheduler who seems to think shes your boss and wont let it go until you say the word fatigue.
