I was in the Colgan 4/11 class with 18 others. There were certainly some road bumps in the form of a lack of planning or communication, as things are kind of between all three companies right now. We never really knew what we were doing next until immediately before. Payroll was and is screwing us the same as everyone else in the company. There were some personnel changes in the training department and things were slightly trending up towards the end. There were only minimal delays between systems and sims (less than a week) and I'm going on two weeks now waiting for IOE. We lost two people in training, both for personal reasons completely independent of the company. Everyone else seemed pretty excited to be here and I know at least several, including myself, turned down other opportunities to come here. My reasoning in turning down others was the new contract and payscale as well as potential future growth in the Q400 in the wake of rising oil prices. I also had a few friends here who said the pilot group had a lot of good people. In my experience thus far, while there have been plenty of headaches, the people I've worked with so far have for the most part been great. I start IOE next week and I'm looking forward to getting out there.
