Do the Colgan

[Way2Broke]

I think I just puked a little

 

[TNHillbilly]

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.


mmmm do the colgan.

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!!!!!!!!!!

[Pattern-Master]

[Mr Biggelsworth]

Man, I really got to get my stuff in there!

 

[340SAM]

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]

telling twenty controllers a day that you are slash Alpha and need an initial heading to go to a fix, while explaining to them why you are speed limited to 180 kts......now you're doin " da colgan " in style .

As I have said before, this is the place to be bar none. There are many Colgan success stories that I am one of. I don't discount what the Colgans have done. They have made a success in an industry where successes are few. I thank them every day for what they have done and what they have given me and those like me. Sure, there are problems and complaints, but that's the same everywhere. Do the Colgan!

I saw the bigggest dork colgan CA today, me and my CA were laughing so hard i choked on my chew.

In state college looked out the right window saw a colgan CA with his hat on, with his blazer on, drinking a cup of coffee, standing next to the sabs cargo door making sure the bags where put in right, with a real cool stance. made eye contact with the FO and he gave the head shake (yea my CA sucks) must of been a new upgrade + he was a green card. This guy was the biggest dork of all times. Yea I love colgan, so this is not a knock on you guys at all, but if anyone knows this import tell him to chill out, and ditch the attitude, its going to kill a lot of people someday. Oh yea it was like 80 degrees out.

 

[Prop2Jet]

hahahhaah, man sometimes there are so many "cool" pilots in our regional line of work! "Lets go I want Viper!"

Ps. Sab is Saab.

when you've had three bags of Cheddar Snacks and two packs of those cookies because you can't afford a real lunch...and the 17 year old FA won't stop hitting the call button to ask the dumbest questions ( with or without the sterile cockpit light in) , then perhaps you are indeed " doin da Colgan "

 

[bender]

If yur own company prevents you from getting back to yur outstationed base by cancelling multiple flights in multiple cities...you might be a colgan commuter.

 

[bacardi]

this is so funny guys keep it up! a.s.a. has some of those cool captains too

 

[suupah]

when you look at the weather computer at the crew room.....ah wait, we doin the colgan...there are no weather computers!
