Colgan Air has just announced that it has made some changes in how they treat their pilots.

1) Commuter Policy. Pretty much a typical commuter policy as in the pilot must list on two flights prior and be able to show proof if asked.

2) Uniform allowance. $200 a year after their first year of service. You have the option of rolling it over to the next year if you do not use it.

3) Parking. Colgan has always paid for parking at the pilots base but now they offer to pay parking at another location outside of base if the pilot wishes, example would be parking off site or at the pilots commuter airport.

4) Report time. You now have 1.5 hour call out to show after being called if based at IAH, BWI, EWR, and LGA.

So I am wondering why the sudden kindness from Buddy and the gang? Seems fishy when the union drive will be kicking up again here soon?
