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.

swapping planes with a crew that hasn't even left their departure city and it is half an hour past your scheduled departure time and then when they do get there and you board all the passengers you get an oil bypass light.

First it was Saab 2000s, then it was Indy's RJs now it's Q400s.

Oh yeah...Let's not forget the best one of all...Show up at your base at O God 30 AM, There's a Captain America Saab there but you can't fly it. Your United Plane is in HEF broke and they want you to rent a car and drive to HEF. Bad news. No cars to rent, no Taxis. Oh drive your car to HEF! You can come back and get it later that night, your show time ain't til O dark 30 AM the next day. Oh wait, we don't have a crew to fly Captain America. BTW the United plane won't be ready til 11 AM. There's another crew driving down from HEF to fly Captain America. We need you to deadhead to with that crew and pick up another broke plane somewhere else. 3 hours later...just as you are boarding Captain America. Screw Scheduling calls back and wants you to drive the rental car back to HEF and fly the United plane on a test flight. Then Ferry it to IAD and then deadhead home. Showtime at 0530 get back to base that night at 2235.

DO DA COLGAN!!!!!!!!!!

Why dont the same six people who comment and start every colgan thread start an airline of there own. We can all sit back and see how long you will be around.

 

[Gfunk27]
