You guys are non-union, and lets not kid ourselves, Colgan will always be Colgan, I don't care if you guys get 757's, its still Colgan. That being said it does worry be that LARRY the BEANCOUNTER continues to degrade his airline buy having second tier regionals doing his flying, but hey hes the CEO and his responsability is towards the share holders, not the pax. Good luck to you COLGAN guys I am angry that we are losing flying, not that you guys are getting it, if you know what I mean
PS. Getting rid of the 1900's and getting 15 more airplanes, is not expanding on a grand scale, but don't lsiten to me, I am somewhat Bitter that an airline like EXPRESSJEt which is a great place to work is losing flying to such a low class operation like COLGAN
Relax, nobody said we are taking anybody's flying. MAybe they are going to find new markets. Maybe they are going to put the Q on the shorter routes where your ERJ can't make a buck. THe Q makes its money on the 400 mi or less routes. Who knows, maybe this XJT point to point thing will take off, and you guys wont need cal anymore. YOu didn't lose 69 planes; they just got put on different flying. WE aren't losing the 1900's; we are losing 2 becuase the airframes timed out. It's funny that you bash colgan so much, becuase without them, like it or not, you would have never made it to XJT. I'm not bashing ya man, I know that XJT is like horizon: the gold standard of regionals. PPL come to colgan for different reasons, and some have had good experiences here. You know the deal brotha......
