Chatting with the tug driver in EWR this morning.... with a sigh he mentioned how Colgan is continuously delayed out of EWR every day. He is a EWR veteran and remarked at how disorganized things are. Daily mx delays, etc.
It's nice to see that XJT continues to lead CAL regional feed in on time performance, maintenance, and stuff. Not bragging or flaming... just noticing on how a couple extra dollars does go a long way.
At least XJT is pulling in some extra revenue while carrying Culligan due to the inability to get more of the Qs on the line on schedule. Flying lots of Colgan routes in the next couple weeks to cover for CAL.
What should Pinnacle do with Colgan? Get rid of the whipsaw, and perhaps give the jobs to the pilots that earned the money to pay for the aircraft!?
