[YMICFI]

You get your release and there is an unknown MEL on it. Call dispatch and they say, oh yeah, sorry I guess we put it on the wrong airplane. Now which one was that supposed to be on? Do the Colgan...

 

[CoolSidePillow]

Colgan cleared for takeoff..... colgan cancel clearence and call ops...... colgan return to gate to get FA that needs to be on the plane to fly afternoon pairing..... DO THE COLGAN.................

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[suupah]

on another note. colgans 2nd year fo payon the saab is 23. the industry standard amongst prop operators seems to be fo gets paid 60% of what the captain gets. Colgan's rate is a little low.

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

I will have a word with the union reps and see if we can set up a meeting with the Bob's and see if we can get that pay rate increased.

 

[suupah]

I wasn't aware of a meeting with them.

Write up a plane in BOS. Last day before my 3 days off. Call Nicole, give her the news that the plane is dead in the water. She converses briefly with our other chief pilot, mikey, and tells me to run up to the terminal. We are DH to DCA, van to Dulles, DH to AOO. Picking up a plane and bringing straight back to our base. Somehow make it to AOO, take-off, call the times in and ops says to hold over the airport, they may need us to come back. The Beech on the ground broke. Hold for 45 minutes and they say yup come back. Find out we're now flying the AOO-IAD trip. Land p/u people go to IAD. Finally going home. Big plans on my day off the next day. Not so fast young man, this is colgan F'in air. You're going to HYA. We're gonna need you to fly the first flight out of HYA but we'll have you home on your day off by 2pm at the latest, so its not that bad. And because the initial cancellation was MX I ended up making less pay credit than my originally scheduled day. Sweet. Do di da do

WHO the Heck puts the friggin World Cup on in the Breakroom at LGA .Couldn't find a darn rampy all day! One damn air cart and not a rampy in sight. I mean load your own bags,bring down your peeps, hook up the tug. The only thing we can't do is push the damn SAAB out of the spot.

How about we invest in a damn TIVO so they can push us back and then go back to the game!!

 

[Saab guy]

We do what we can with Maint, when parts are AOG and not in stock, don't blame the mechanics. We do care about the Planes and you guys/gals flying them, try complaining to planning and purchasing for a change.

Saab Guy

what would you consider doing the colgan at the maintenance end of stuff?

 

[Saab guy]

robbing parts, robbing parts, why does purchasing sit around and fart? where are my parts? don't worry they will be in stock the day the MEL drops but don't worry about spinning the props just let them turn till the MEL drops. da do do do da colgan!

But like I said we do what we can with what we have.

Peace to all you crews!

ok, now that was scary.....

 

[heywatchthis]

Colgan has the best freaking mechanics in the industry. Those guys fix airplanes without having any parts. OK, make that the best freaking magicians in the industry.

 

[suupah]

uhmmm yeah. well, i am sure the maintenance guys hold wizard licenses cuz they keep these things flying. tho i am sure it is always crisis management, which i bet gets tiring.
