Just a funny observation. I guess us "Colganites" are pretty bad, working for such low pay day in and day out. However as bad as you may think we are, we are still good enough to jumpseat on...right? You come up to the front of the plane asking for a ride, all smiles and grins. Who would of known behind the smile was discontent for the pilots and operator who is about to fly you home.
Andy, why don't you and those disgusted by Colgan, Mesa, and the other "bottom feeders" start a boycot of jumpseating on these flights. Surely your high morality and ethics would not alow you to ride on such an airlines plane, no less a turbo prop...right?
