Fresh New Colgan Rumor

[Turtlesfly]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LodgeX!!!!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Suupah beat me to it . . . we just got them and it has been a CLUSTER! All sorts of emails from management about how they're trying to solve the problem but they can't because XJT doesn't control things directly anymore. You show up at a hotel and scheduling (good luck getting through to them) has to fax stuff to them and then they tell you to just sit and wait and you can never actually talk to those people.

Wait, here it comes again . . . . LodgeX

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No reservations made half the time, piss poor Customer Service... and if it is an unscheduled overnight, it will usually take 2 hours to get the room set up on a good night.

So, what exactly will change?

 

[Prop2Jet]

this is just getting worse by the minute. China looks good right about now. At least over their I can have my own box and lantern at nights....

 

[Godfather]

So, what exactly will change?

everything!!! This company makes priceline.com look real good. LGX is terrible. Just read on. Most of their Customer Service is outsourced to outside countries like India. Colgan did a really nice job of providing outstation hotels (nice hotels too!) at a good rate and guaranteeing ground transportation.

Now that Peanuckle has taken over, things are a changing!

Another reason to have a Collective Barganing Agreement via ALPA. Just be sure to have a section for hotels, transportation and overnights along with a Hotel and Scheduling Committee. I'm sure the XJT group will tell ya how bad LGX is.

 

[Mr Wu]

and guaranteeing ground transportation

You're kidding, right?

 

[Godfather]

You're kidding, right?

yep...I was kidding...100 mile cab to get to where you are suppose to be? been there done that...and it's gonna get worse now...

Changes

So much for "nothing's gonna change." The Colgans said nothing will change in being bought out. This is one small sign that things are going to. Watch for more exits and and changes. This is why we need ALPA. Just ask any Pinnacle pilot how they are treated by management and you will know that things will get worse without professional representation and a legally binding contract with a grievance procedure.

Ballots coming out soon. Vote YES and let's make it better!

The company...and management are at the pit...NOT the pilots..

I take it you have worked at the carriers you rank last? Why so much jumping around between carriers?

I think this highlights the bottom line.

THE COLGAN'S ARE NOT IN CHARGE


They will all be taking their payday and hitting the highway very soon.

You guys kill me! One of the biggest complaints has been about how people would have issues with getting a hotel room or even a ride to the hotel. The Colgans have actually listened to you and done something about it by hiring an outside company to do this so we won't have to wait for a ride or show at a hotel and not have a room booked. But you have turned this into the "Colgans are not in control anymore" and "this is the beginning of the end". They have done something to try to alleviate one of the biggest complaints and all you do is complain. Either you are drinking too much ALPA coolaid or you are IDIOTS!
