Let me tell you what happened with ALPA at Colgan. Everyone thinks that Colgan pilots don't care, etc. There was too much talk around the line that it was going to pass- no big deal. Well some of our pilots took this as "If its going to pass, I wont worry about it". Well we fell 4 votes short. We had well over 4 people who never got their card from the NMB-but once again because it was going to pass no problem, guys didn't go through the head ache of writing a letter to the NMB, getting proof of residence, etc.

COLGAN PILOTS DID NOT "VOTE DOWN" ALPA.

This is a great pilot group...probably some of the best pilots in the airlines. Flying Slant A in the ice and snow 6 legs a day is a lot tougher than flying a coupled ILS into EWR in a barbie jet.

BTW- I don't know of ANY Colgan CA who would deny a jumpseat to anyone other than GoJet. PDT guys have this disgusting personal vendetta for Colgan guys and are denying jumpseats to our pilots and it's not fair. It wasn't me, but it's just rediculous that these 59 year old guys hate Colgan.
