When your left arm is about to turn into a sprintzle because that's the only thing you've had to eat in the past 3 days. Oh the buttery goodness.

Doo da da.. LOVE IT!!! Good stuff guys.
 
When you have to repo the plane to HEF for mx at night, then you get to HEF and all of screw scheduling has gone home so you spend the night on the couch at capital aviation cause you can't get a hotel room. Then you show up at scheduling at 6 am with "couch neck" and Irene looks at you and says "what are you guys doing here" while you look outside to see the HEF-CHO repo take off knowing it was your only way to deadhead home since you timed out 2 hours ago........ do the colgan
 
Have scheduling tell you they dont know what to do with you the night before, then mark you notified for something and not actually notify you - then get a call at 8am telling you they "want to notify you" for a 7:10 am show / 8:10 am departure, with a straight face. DO THE COLGAN YAH!
 
Fly you're a$$ off for the month and have a 100 hours before the 27th then answer your phone accidently on your day off.
Sched: "Sup, this is L....., we need you to pick up a pairing."
You: "I would love to(smugly) , but I'm already at a hundred hours
because I was extended for the last three weeks, sorry!"
Sched. "Aw sh!t, yeah you're right. Well then, Can you hop on a plane to
Albany and ferry a plane to Bangor then we might need you to
go to Houston. I'll take a reserve day away at the end of
the month."
You: " I'm timed out for the month that reserve day doe...."
Sched: "Cool, you're flight leaves at noon."

DO DA COLGAN.

I Love this job, Most who have gone on have to it admit this is some of the most fun you had flying especially the crews and characters you've worked with.

DA DA DO DA COLGAN!!!

couldn't resist

my favorite of the 25 or so....sitting on a DH8 out of HPN on last day...gonna cheat out early on reserve since they never call or release you....
the door is about to close... your cel phone rings....its crew sched..."we need you to get a cab to LGA and ferry a plane over to albany...."it's my last day of reserve, i'm going home..."well hold it, we'll call you right back"..."BUT, BUT, the door is getting to close !" (i can get a later flight, but I really want to go home....)

you pause think about it, (and convinced of their incompetence, you simply cut your cel phone off (if they really had needed you , they would have called back within five mintes...the door is now closed... you realize i'm going home and I really don't give a Fu$#!!!

Ah, doing the colgan....it feels so good!
