And shame on Colgan for flying turboprops at all.
And shame on Bombardier for building those scary little planes.
And shame on ME for replying in my interview,"I want to work for Colgan for job security. I figure there will always be a place for turboprops."
Nope read both of my posts before replying.
I said I don't fault any newhire for starting off their careers. I think the bar needs to be raised from the top.
I think before an opportunity arises, pilots need to decide where that should be set. I'll respect any pilot who has made that decision. I won't respect the pilot who's willing to lower their own personal standards.
I came from Colgan and I'm thankful for the time I spent there and all the people I met there.
I'm really only referring to the select few who decided to step up and try to lead the pilot group. I think they could have set a better standard for themselves.
