God forbid I hear some puke like you talk crap about me and whinning about downgrade. I won't think twice about knocking the life out of you or any douchebag pinnacle legacy captain. I'm sure you can figure out who I am if you feel you want to sac up and try to walk the walk instead of run your mouth. I welcome any PNCL puke that thinks they are better than alll Colgan or Mesaba pilots. I have flown with plenty of 4 and 5 year FO's that I had to babysit. How dare you talk crap toward someone who's been or is getting downgraded!
I have no sympathy for you or any other Colgan "puke" who gets downgraded. Of any of the pilot groups I have had the pleasure of flying with I have had to babysit the colgan captains in far greater numbers. I just love being a flight instructor again(NOT). How in the hell did some of these guys get through their fed ride is beyond me. Also most of the legacy 9E/XJ guys are better pilots from my perspective(maybe not better people). This thread got hijacked by some colgan hot head. Back on topic. I am glad we are going to start hiring!!! I need some better seniority!!
PS. Shamrok...if you "could care less about this job" please do us all a favor and quit, no one wants to fly with someone who has that sort of attitude.
