Hello,
Interseting times that we are living and witness to in the airline industry. I am waiting with a pessimistic view of what is going to happen in PCL Holdings future. Not just Colgan Air. I don't think that a staple job is going to serve the interests of either pilot group. Unless there is a perverted desire to punish everyone for the lack of 51% of our pilots not voting. Keeping in mind that if this happens we have to share a cockpit together. We aren't scabs and we didn't do anything wrong or damage your pilot group.
The corporate culture here in CJC is so beyond screwed up that I could write a novel. Maybe, I am opinionated or outspoken on this, but perhaps some of my fellow CJC pilots might agree. They are still in the mentality of having 125 pilots flying EAS in the Northeast in alot of ways. Some of the senior management knows we need to change, but whether their influence or experience will be heeded is an open question. Colgan is "proud" of their long history of "starting" many airline careers, but do they really think that is realistic and reasonable to expect to grow this company to perhaps 1200 pilots flying over 100 aircraft in 5-7 years? Like I said, it is going to be an interesting thing to watch unfold.
