Easy, I was furloughed and need to find work ie fly airplanes. I told them that 9L showed the most growth potential with the addition of Q's and more Q's heading to IAH.
Mesaba was purchased by 9E and pref hiring was given to XJ pilots on 9L back in July '10. In the interview they actually brought up the fact that ALPA would be pressing for changes and a single pilot list would soon follow. Chuck said himself that what people know of the "old Colgan" will be pleasantly surprised with the steps they were making. Simple as that bubba.
I also think you'd be hard up trynig to locate a thanks but no thanks letter from GL mate. It doesnt exist "but I know its there" must make it true eh? Kinda like "I know" you're a raging cross dresser, right?
My Chit box is less smelly than your Chit box. ie 9L,9E, XJ vs your RP (and whatever other airline your company dismantles)
