From what I have heard, Colgan is having its growing pains with CAL and Texas with MX issues, Flight Attendants calling in sick after all the reserves have been called out, Broke Ground A/C units, outstation equipment and training, etc. But, hey everyone has their growing pains...I guess

From the Kremlin in Manassas though, everything is rosey. 97% mechanical reliablity, 96% completion factor, heavy passenger loads. I wish I really knew.

As for the Saab 2000, Flight Safety is looking into moving the Vero Beach Saab 2000 Sim to either IAH or somewhere closer to DC. Saab is also going to have a new and larger parts distribution center in the US in the fall. The Saab 2000 is still the big buzz word here in Manassas, just have to wait and see.
 
broken ground AC units......oh man that must not be pleasant.
 
Hope ya'll have payroll figured out. apparently there were several stations worth of rampers that didn't receive paychecks for over a month after the skywest to colgan transition. hell of a way to breed respect from employees!

before I was bitter, but now...ya'll can have all the vct, abi, and sjt that ya'll want!!!
