Was a Colgan crew scheduler from August to December. Its all based on seniority, as is everything in the airline biz. I was hired to work Fri - Mon 4am-2pm. Benefits include health and 401k, but the 401k sucks. You get non-revenue status on Continnental, US Airways and United. I started at $12, and I still work closely with the other schedulers and I have not heard of this $14 new starting pay. The scheduler who has been there the longest makes around that, which is part of the reason I left, no way to get anymore money really. Also the fact that they scheduled me to work Christmas Eve and Christmas day from 11am - 9pm pissed me off, I understood that I would work those days, but I assumed from 4am - 2pm, not the whole day.
