Question about Colgan training

[BRA]

Well that could be fun. Don't expect to get it right away though. That way you won't be too dissapointed if you don't. I assume you got the 1900...because HPN is a 1900 base. It's hard for anyone currently working here to tell you what to expect with your experience here. The company is growing and bases are changing. Bases, upgrades, hours....will all be different then what we have seen in the past most likely. I think 65 is a good guess for average hours flown per month though.

For all we know, with the saab growth...HPN may be a saab base in the future.

True, with my luck I'll be stuck in Altoona or some other fancy place like that ... lol


Are you close to upgrading to the Saab or you sticking with the 1900 ?

 

[BRA]

No, I shall remain on the 1900. Rumor is their is no room for cowboys on the saab as of late. With the flight attendent and drinks for example...banks over 45 degrees are frowned upon. Not my rules. Why do they need to be drinking on that thing anyhow? Altoona is a fine place, i hear it features a hooters. I was interested in that base until i recieved this letter:

Dear applicant,

We appreciate your interest in the Altoona domicle. We wish you the best in the move, however we regret to inform you that we will not be in attendance.

Sincerely,

teeth, deodorant, and undergarments


So, whatever, that turned me off. But otherwise i hear it's a fine place.

ROFL

Dude I hope I get to fly with you someday, I do like that about the 1900, my flying buddies prefixed my last name with "Cowboy" so I hear what you're saying...

I indeed have flown into Altoona .... and Johnstown, and State College, etc ... during my brief stint as a Asstek cargo pilot I met a fellow that got to sit in the airplane at Altoona for 5 hours a day waiting for checks ... and people on this board complain about a their contracts ....

We are not a place that tries to wash out people...infact most people think very highly of the people that teach the classes.


I'll tell you one thing, you'd have to look long and hard to find a finer individual than Ed Yarid.

i figured you would have been more interested in the "this may happen automatically" line You guys always miss the sleeper lines.
The thread was getting a little dull. Anyone ever get this letter?

Dear Colgan New Hire,

It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to our base. You will enjoy all that the Johnstown domicile has to offer.

Sincerely,

Rust, mullets, bad breath, and depression.

Dear Colgan New Hire,

We are excited to welcome you as the latest addition to our community. Warm wishes for a pleasant experience in Buffalo.

Sincerely,

People still pissed off over Scott Norwoods wide right at Super Bowl 25

( i also heard of one from SYR that said the same thing that was from ice scrapers, salt, and girls with upper lip hair)
