This airline was just picketed by a whole slew of airlines, both regional and mainline. Its non-union and is probably going to be involved in a whipsaw game in the future.

Its a trainwreck in the making. If you have any other options (aside from say, GoJet), I'd go elsewhere.

 

[OnTheRocks]

trainwreck in the making? obviously you need a bit of trainwreck 101.......its been a trainwreck for a long time!

I went last week and they offered me a CPT position on the Q. I'm not sure if I'll take it.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

With your times I would take the job if it is offered. Move on after gaining the 121 experience.

 

[OnTheRocks]

id hang out and instruct until someone with a contract called

 

[OnTheRocks]

at least that way, you could skip all the hassle of "do they really have downs?"

 

[SeanAucoin]

I'll play it by ear. if they offer me a job I'll take it, gain some experience and then part ways....

I'd request the Dash 8 Q400. Why fly a Beech or Slaab when you could also fly the Q400? It would be EWR based vs. LGA based. Did they mention the Q400 when they offered the interview?

Keep in mind that Trans States (sure, not the best regional out there by a long shot) is also hiring at something like 400/50 onto the E145. I wouldn't exclude jet opportunities to get onto Colgan unless Colgan offered you something like the Q400 (great glass experience).

Good luck.

Check what they are paying you to fly the Q! It's ridiculous that guys are flying it for this rate.... Go elsewhere!!!

 

[WSurf]

Yepper, those are some sad rates. Along with no contract or workrules!

Excactly!! I truly don't understand why guys agree to fly it at those rates. Oh well....
